Newlywed Wife Bathes Husband With Boiling Water Over Phone Calls

Minna, Niger State-  A newlywed wife has been accused of pouring boiling water on her husband, Shehu Abdullahi, amidst a heated argument over her alleged interactions with other men.

Abdullahi, the husband, spoke to Daily Trust from his hospital bed at the Kontagora General Hospital. He revealed that they had tied the knot just two months prior following the passing of his previous 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 parent’s 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.
