The case of a 26-year-old Ogochukwu Nwosu who was bathed
with acid over marriage proposal comes up today, Thursday for hearing at the
Magistrate Court, Igbosere, Lagos, reports ITRealms.
Ogochukwu, ITRealms
recalls was bathed with acid following her purported acceptance to a marriage
proposal at Ilasa bus stop along Oshodi-Apapa Expressway in Lagos last October
on her way home from work.
ITRealms also
gathered that Ogochukwu whose workplace is at the Computer Village has been in
a critical condition at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba,
Surulere, Lagos State.
Also, ITRealms gathered
that the victim, who now suffers burns on her face, neck, breasts, among other
parts of her body had accused one Mrs. Chidi, the wife of the man who had
proposed marriage to her, as her assailant.
According to her, Mrs. Chidi had been threatened her on the
telephone and via phone calls, Short Message Service (SMS) and social media
platform like Whatsapp soon after she learnt of her husband’s plans to marry
her (Ogochukwu).
For her, “I suspect Mrs. Chidi because she had been
threatening me before the incident. And while I was on admission at the
hospital, she called and spoke with my brother (Peter), saying that was just
the beginning,” Ogochukwu told Punch
recently.
Her brother, Peter, also confirmed this, saying he recorded
a part of the conversation with Mrs. Chidi on his mobile phone, even as he
promptly reported to Itire Police Division.
ITRealms further
gathered that Mrs. Chidi was subsequently arrested and detained for two days was
later transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Department (SCIID), Yaba and later granted the suspect bail.
Meanwhile lawyers to the victim, Louis Nwaugbala and Anthony
Obi, had petitioned the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Headquarters,
Abuja, over the matter.
