A 32-year-old woman has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for bathing her husband with hot water following an altercation.
Edgal Imohimi, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, said that the incident happened on May 29, 2018 at Karounwi Street in the Ijesha area of the state.
“This is a case of domestic violence and it has to do with a woman who surprisingly poured hot water on her husband following an altercation they had a night before.
“This is worrisome as it is coming barely a week after a woman stabbed her husband to death at Ikorodu.
“The couple had slept together, unknowing to the husband that the wife still had grudges with him over their previous altercation.
“While the husband was having breakfast in the morning, the woman boiled water and poured it on her husband.
“The man is presently at the hospital and the suspect will be charged to court as soon as possible.” he said.
The CP further advised couples having issues to talk to experts and not hold grudges against each other.
The suspect told journalists that her husband had starved her children which led to an argument. She said she poured hot water on him to defend herself.
