A popular mechanic in Nnewi Main Market, whose name was given as Mr Sunday Eze, from Obiofia, Nnewichi, in Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, is on the run for allegedly bathing his pregnant wife with raw acid for alleged infidelity last weekend.
It was gathered that Mr Sunday Eze had serious quarrels with his wife, Mrs Ebele Eze, from Edoji, Uruagu-Nnewi and because of how furious the husband was, Ebele decided to run to her parents to avoid the wrath of her aggrieved husband.
Mr Eze was said to have suspected that his wife was in the habit of sleeping around with men and claimed that he was not responsible for the pregnancy.
On that fateful day, Mr Eze went to his in laws’ house, met the wife and lured her out to follow him to Nnewichi near Ichi boundary, where he said he rented a store for her business.
The unsuspecting wife agreed to join the husband to the place and as they reached to a spot, two of them came down, and as the husband was pointing to a building, which the wife was looking with interest, he brought out a bottle full of raw acid and poured on the pregnant wife, left her there and ran away.
A man found Mrs Ebele Eze groaning on the ground in pains and with the assistance of other passers-by, took her to Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), where he spoke to both the police and hospital staff of what happened.
The angry youths from Edoji, Uruagu Nnewi, on the following day after hearing the story, visited the home of Mr Sunday Eze and set his family’s one-storey building and his mother’s shop ablaze.
Meanwhile, the police from CPS Nnewi have made some arrests in connection with the crime, as they have equally intensified efforts to bring the culprits to book.
The State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Emeka Chukwuemeka, has confirmed the crime and promised that the law would soon catch up with Sunday Eze.
