A jealous woman who could not take the fact that her husband was
cheating on her, took the matter into her hands, poured acid on the
rival and committed suicide by jumping into the River Niger.
A jealous housewife who could not take another woman having affairs with her husband, has bathed her rival with acid and committed suicide by jumping into the River Niger.
The
sad incident happened in Oko-Ogbele community in Asaba, Delta State,
while the cheating husband has been arrested by the police.
According
to the reports carried by Leadership Newspaper, the deceased woman
identified as Rosemary, had complained several times to her husband
about the woman's frequent visits to their house and had also warned the
woman to desist from running after her husband or she would be thought a
bitter lesson but the rival would not heed the warnings.
To
make matters worse, Rosemary's husband, a fisherman and a native of
Bomadi local government, an Ijaw community in Delta State, had
threatened her that he would get a second wife if she did not stop
harassing his woman friend.
When she could not
take the flagrant infidelity again, it was gathered that the very
jealous Rosemary decided to take the fight to the woman.
On the day of the incident, she reportedly ambushed her rival and poured substance suspected to be acid on her face and promptly jumped into the river.
The
Delta State Police Command’s spokesman, DSP Celestina Kalu, confirmed
that the husband of the woman who had jumped into the river, was
arrested, disclosing that the incident took place on Monday evening at
Oko-Ogbele Community by the River Niger bank.
The
police statement adds that the corpse of the woman was yet to be found
in the water while the acid victim was rushed to a private hospital in
Asaba where she is currently receiving treatment.
