In a recent incident in Meiran, Lagos, a woman named Dorcas Oluwabukola has been apprehended by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly pouring hot water on her husband.
As gathered by Quest Times, the police, currently investigating the matter, plan to transfer the case to the state Criminal Investigation Department.
The incident which occurred approximately five days ago, gained attention on social media platforms.
Reports also suggest that the wife became upset when her husband attended a childhood friend’s wedding without her. This apparent disagreement led to a heated argument, culminating in the wife’s alleged assault.
Furthermore, the police source from the Meiran division confirmed the incident, stating, “She poured hot water on her husband purposely because she felt that he cheated on her.”
The couple was originally supposed to attend a party together, but the husband attended alone, triggering the confrontation.
Moreover, the husband who has been hospitalized since the incident, is under the division’s observation.
The police source equally emphasized the seriousness of the case, stating, “It is a capital offence. There is no option for bail,” hence, the authorities are awaiting the right time to transfer the case to the state CID for further investigation.
As of now, the Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, has not provided comments on the matter.
