Mechanic Bathes Lover With Acid For Refusing To Marry Him

A mechanic identified as Kama Hammajoda has reportedly poured acid on his fiancee, Ladi Ishaku for turning down his marriage proposal In Adamawa state.

According to Sahara Reporters, the victim who is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital in Yola was bathed with acid on Sunday, March 20.

Ladi said she suspected her boyfriend was the perpetrator because he had threatened her life when she turned him down.

She said: “He had threatened my life when I told him, our relationship would not lead to marriage. I refused to marry him because I sensed he was lying to me about virtually everything. For instance, He told me that he was not married, but I found out he lied about it.

“I confronted him about it, and in a heated argument I told him I would not marry him; so he threatened me saying if I did not marry him, then everyone would lose.

“Shortly thereafter, my mother was burnt to death in her room; but as at that time, I couldn’t link it to Hammajoda’s threat. Last Sunday, I was lying down in the open within our compound due to power outage, when someone tiptoed in the dark and poured acid on me.”

However, Hammajoda who is currently in police custody had denied the allegations.
