Woman Arrested for Allegedly Pouring Hot Water on Husband in Lagos

The Lagos State Police Command has apprehended Dorcas Oluwabukola, a woman accused of pouring boiling water on her husband in the Meiran area of the state. The incident, which occurred approximately five days ago, gained significant attention on various social media platforms, with reports suggesting that the motive behind the act was suspicion of infidelity.

A police source from the Meiran division, who wished to remain anonymous, disclosed to PUNCH Metro that once the investigation is concluded, the suspect will be transferred to the state Criminal Investigation Department for further legal proceedings.

According to reports, the altercation between the couple arose when the husband attended a childhood friend’s wedding without his wife. This apparent exclusion from the event allegedly triggered the wife’s anger, leading to the horrifying act.

The police source assured the public that a thorough investigation into the matter would be carried out. Additionally, they mentioned that the husband, who has been hospitalized since the incident, is being closely monitored by the Meiran division.

“The incident occurred approximately six days ago. It is a true story. The wife intentionally poured hot water on her husband as she believed he had cheated on her,” the source stated. “They were supposed to attend a party together, but the husband chose to go alone. We are closely monitoring the husband’s condition as he is still receiving medical treatment and has not been discharged.”

The police wasted no time in apprehending the wife due to the severity of the offence, which is considered a capital offence. As a result, she has been denied bail. The case will be transferred to the state Criminal Investigation Department once the appropriate time comes.

When contacted for comment, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, was unavailable.

The incident highlights the need for further investigation and potential legal action to ensure justice is served. The Lagos State Police Command remains committed to upholding the law and protecting the welfare of its citizens.
