A newly wedded wife, Amina Abashe, allegedly poured boiling water on her husband, Shehu Abdullahi, following a disagreement over her frequent phone calls with other men.
The incident happened in
Kontangora Local Government Area of Niger State.
The husband, Abdullahi, who
spoke with Daily Trust, from his hospital bed at the Kontagora General
Hospital, said they got married two months ago after the death of his former
wife.
He said his wife first
attempted to stab him to death but that he was able to collect the knife from
her before she went to take the water she was boiling and poured it on him.
Abdullahi explained that two
months after the marriage was contracted, his wife refused to move to his house
and that he went to her parents' house to complain.
He said that on Tuesday
evening, the day the incident happened, his wife called him on the phone to
come to their house and that right there, she told him that she was no longer
interested in the marriage, saying that she had someone who would pay back his
dowry.
He alleged that at that same
venue, she was on the phone with a man suspected to be her boyfriend.
“At that point, I became angry
and attempted to seize the phone from her and she took a knife to stab me but I
was able to collect the knife from her,” he added.
