The woman was not happy after her husband gave her N700, out
of the N800 he had to prepare yam and sauce breakfast for the family.
She bought the yam, but emptied the boiling water on her
husband, who was making use of his phone in the sitting room, waiting for his
meal.
They have been married for eight years, has four children,
including a six-month-old baby. As vanguard gathered
A neighbour said:
“I was in front of the compound when I heard
the victim screaming and his wife running out of the compound as if the devil
was chasing her.
Neighbours who were in the compound at that moment ran into their apartment only to see him in
pains.
“We asked him what happened; he said his wife emptied full
bowl of hot water on him. We bought raw eggs and honey which we poured on the
burns, before taking him to the hospital.” As the neighbours said
according to Vanguard angry neighbours later caught Iya
Deborah, and dragged her to the hospital.
When Vanguard visited the victim at Ademola
Hospital
A nurse told Vanguard, on the condition of anonymity: “When
the wife of the victim came to the hospital, she kept saying that she did it
because the money her husband gave to her was too little.
She alleged that he has been cheating on her with other
women and keeps complaining that there was no money, but keeps spending on his
lovers.
Feeling a lot more remorseful, Iya Deborah, who is currently
undergoing interrogation at Ijanikin Police Divisional Headquarters, said: “I
don’t know what came over me; it is the devil’s handwork.”
Vanguard gathered that the suspect once attacked a neigh-bour
in their former compound with hot groundnut oil.
