Mrs. Hope Nwala of Obite village bathed her husband, Mr Ekelediri Nwankwo, in hot vegetable oil in their home in the Okehi community in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The victim claims that the trouble began when he warned his wife’s sister not to sleep in the matrimonial bed he shared with his wife.
He said: “I have told my wife’s younger sister to leave my house because of the way she has started dressing, and the way she occupy my matrimonial bed even when I am around, no young guy will tolerate such behaviour. But my wife has refused the younger sister to leave the house.
“I also saw my wife alone with one tall black guy in the shop I rented for her, not that he is in for business, he followed my wife and sister here and there, with all these, I gave that her younger sister two thousand naira transport fare to go home so that I can actually understand what is going on in my house, but my wife got upset, while I went to bed to sleep, she used boiled groundnut oil on me, then started hitting me with harmer”
