A housewife, Mrs Chigozie Ugama, has allegedly poured hot water on her neighbour, a 25-year-old lady, Oluchukwu Nwali, which caused injuries all over her body. The incident occurred at the weekend at Amaeka community in Ezza South Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
The victim was rushed to a private hospital at Onuoji Echara in the local government where she was receiving treatment at press time. Narrating her ordeal, Nwali said she did not believe that the woman could do that to her. She said trouble started after she had a misunderstanding with Ugama.
The victim added that she had reported the misunderstanding to the woman’s husband who promised to look into the complaint later. She said: “As I finished complaining to the husband, I did not know that Mrs Ugama had prepared hot water for me. “Immediately I stepped outside, she poured hot inside a bucket and poured it on my body.”
