25 year old woman, Chiwendu Nwobodo who was
bathed with hot groundnut oil by a neighbour in Surulere Lagos over puff puff supposedly worth N900 has lost her two-month-old pregnancy.

According to PUNCH Metro, Her husband,
Chigozie, said that his wife had also developed
complications as her left ear was now oozing pus and that Iya Daniel has been re-arrested and detained at the State Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba.

This whole incident reportedly
happened because Chiwendu and Iya Daniel, who
were neighbours and lived on Ogbomosho Street,
Ijesha, in the Surulere area had had a
disagreement which made Pregnant Chiwendu kick
some puff puff that belonged to Iya Daniel.

Iya Daniel demanded the replacement of her Puff
puff which she said was worth N900. Chinwe's
Husband, Chigozie promised to reimburse Iya Daniel of her damaged puff puff.

However, after Chinwe returned from work on the
evening of the fateful day, the airport worker was
said to have gone to the toilet. As she came out of the toilet, Iya Danielreportedly waylaid her and emptied a pail of hot groundnut oil on her.

She was subsequently rushed to the hospital and
placed on admission.

The suspect was arrested by policemen from the
Ijesha division, but was later released on bail.
Chigozie on Wednesday said that his wife had
lost their unborn child.

He said:

“She developed complications and started losing
blood from her private parts. We were advised to
do a scan, and the result showed that she had
lost the baby.

“We were advised to take her to the Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital. The doctors said
they will have to flush her system to remove the
remains of the baby. They also prescribed some
drugs to her.

“I am sad because it was supposed to be our first
child. We have been married since May 2014 and
we were happy when our family doctor
confirmed that she was pregnant. But now that
she has lost it. I am angry because Iya Daniel
caused it.”

Chigozie said she wanted the suspect charged for the
injury on his wife and the loss of her pregnancy.
He said: “This is murder. I want the law to take its
full course in this case,” he said.
