Housewife pours hot water on mate

30-year-old housewife, Hadiza Abba, on Monday appeared before an Area Court in Jos, Plateau, for allegedly causing grievous hurt to her co-wife.

“The suspect boiled hot water and poured on one Mrs Zainab Abba that they are married to the same husband.”

The police First Information Report (FIR) stated that the accused committed the offence on Aug. 4, at about 3p.m.

The FIR said that on Aug. 13, at about 5p.m, one Sagiru Maishanu went to the `C` Division police station in Jos and reported that the accused had committed the offence.

It said that the complainant, who was the brother of the victim, told the police that the action of the accused had made his sister to sustain severe burnt.

“The victim has sustained severe burn on her back and breast, and she was rushed to a hospital for treatment.

“The action of the accused has contravened Section 242 of the Penal Code law,” the FIR said.

When the FIR was read to the accused, she pleaded not guilty to the charge and her Counsel, Mr A. S. Umar, applied to the court for her bail.

Umar said that his client was presumed innocent until proven otherwise by the court and that she was ready to provide competent surety if given the bail.

The Police Prosecutor, Mr Mubas Rafan, objected to the bail application of the accused, saying that the police was still investigating the matter.

Rafan said that the victim had sustained serious hurt from the action of the accused and she did not deserve bail.

The Presiding Officers, Mrs Halima Bala and Mrs Mary Izang, however, granted bail to the accused in the sum of N200,000 with one surety in like sum.
