The woman who poured hot groundnut oil on her husband, Mr Ekelediri Nwankwo Nwala in Obite Community in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State, Mrs Hope Nwala, has been arrested.
The suspect, Hope, had fled to an unknown destination after the incident.
It was gathered that a local vigilante in the area, Etche Secuity Peace and Advisory Committee, ESPAC, had smoked out the suspect and handed her over to the police.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the state command, Grace Iringe-Koko, a Superintendent of Police, confirmed that the suspect has been arrested and is now in police custody.
Mr. Ekelediri had after the incident on Wednesday narrated that his wife carried out the act because he was complaining about the attitude of his woman’s sister who lives with them.
He said that when he brought N2000 and gave it to his sister-in-law and asked her to leave the house that his wife carried the hot oil on fire and poured it on him.
The victim said: “I had 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 from leaving 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.”
