A woman from Obite Community,Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State, Mrs. Hope Nwala, has poured hot groundnut oil on her husband, Ekelediri Nwankwo.

The couple, who reside in Okehi community in Etche Local Government Area, was said to be at loggerheads over the attitude of the wife’s younger sister, who stayed with them.

Nwankwo said on Wednesday that his sister-in-law was disrespectful to him, compelling him to send her packing from the house but that his wife vehemently opposed the decision.

He said the situation took a dangerous turn after he gave his sister-in-law some money to return home as he could no longer tolerate her.

He said:

“I have told my wife’s younger sister to leave my house because of the way she has started dressing, and the way she occupies my matrimonial bed even when I am around, no young guy will tolerate such behaviour but my wife has refused the younger sister to leave 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, he followed my wife and sister here and there.

With all these, I gave that her younger sister N2,000 transport to go home so that I can actually understand what is going on in my house.

But my wife got upset. While i went to bed to sleep, she used boiled groundnut oil on me, then start hitting me with a harmer.”

The middle-aged woman was said to be on the run after the incident while the husband was rushed to a hospital for treatment.
