See What Happened To Woman Who Accepted Her Married Lover’s Marriage Proposal

A 25-year-old woman, Ogochukwu Nwosu, is on the receiving end of one of the most painful acts of vendetta after accepting her married lover’s marriage proposal.

Punch reports that Nwosu is currently in a critical condition at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Surulere, Lagos State, after she was bathed with substance suspected to be acid.

Nwosu was at Ilasa bus-stop, on the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, when a man allegedly dropped from a motorcycle, poured acid on her and then jumped back on the motorcycle and fled the scene.

The victim, who sustained burns on her face, neck, breasts, among other parts of her body, was reportedly rushed to LUTH by passersby.

Speaking from the hospital bed, Nwosu accused one Mrs. Chidi, the wife of the man who had proposed marriage to her, as the culprit. She alleged that Mrs. Chidi had been threatening her on the telephone and through text messages immediately she learnt of her husband’s intention to marry her (Ogochukwu).

She said she had turned down Mr. Chidi’s proposal because he was married, adding that the latter persisted.

”On Thursday, I had closed from Computer Village where I work. Around 8pm, when I reached Ilasa bus stop, I dropped off the bus.

I was about to cross to the other side of the road when a man dropped from a motorcycle and poured something on me. He immediately fled on the motorcycle. People came to my rescue and took me to the hospital.

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, saying that was just the beginning,” she added.

Peter, Nwosu’s brother, who said he recorded a part of the conversation with Mrs. Chidi on his mobile phone, reported the incident at the Itire Police Division.

He added that Mrs. Chidi was arrested and detained for two days before the case was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba.

It was revealed that the police admitted the suspect to bail shortly after the matter got to the SCIID and that counsel to the victim, Louis Nwaugbala and Anthony Obi, had already petitioned the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Headquarters, Abuja, over the matter.

A copy of the petition read in part,

”Sometime in 2012, one Mr. Chidi approached our client and started making advances to her and promised to marry her. But she vehemently refused the proposal. She told him that she was not interested in the marriage since he was already married.

Upon Mr. Chidi’s insistence of wanting to marry our client and even making preparations to visit our client’s family to formalise the marriage rites, our client advised Mr. Chidi to inform his wife of his plans to take our client as his second wife, since both of them will be cohabiting in the same house.

Immediately Mr. Chidi made his plans known to his wife, all hell broke loose as Mrs. Chidi started calling and persistently threatening our client’s life through phone calls, text and Whatsapp messages.”

”I cannot speak with you, neither can my wife. The case is under investigation at the SCIID. Go and speak with the police at Panti; they are the ones investigating it.

We cannot make any comment,” he said.
