Mrs Suzanna Fawole (38), has been remanded in Ife prisons in Osun State
after she was arraigned in Magistrates’ court, Modakeke on Monday, June
3.
Fawole was accused of bathing one Funmilayo Aderibigbe (35),
whom she suspected to ber husband’s lover, with a liquid substance
suspected to be acid, thereby causing her grievous bodily harm.
The
acting Chief Magistrate, Mr O.A. Ayilara ordered that the accused be
remanded in Ife prison custody while the case was adjourned till July 1
for further hearing.
May 6, was like any other day for Aderibigbe who resides on Adeboye Street, Ife-Modakeke road. Set for the day ahead, she went ahead to prepare herself for the activities she had lined up for herself, oblivious of what was in stock for her.
Before the end of the day, however, her once-beautiful physique which made her the toast
of all, suddenly crumpled under the subduing power of acid. She was
almost turned into a monster such as ones usually seen in horror movies
after she was allegedly bathed with acid by Fawole. Crime Reports
gathered that Fawole had alleged Aderibigbe of having an affair with
her husband. As a result, the suspect had sent a number of threatening
text messages to the victim, warning her to steer clear of her husband.
Aderibigbe reportedly ignored the messages and went about her life until
the deadly liquid was used to arouse her from her perceived indifferent
attitude.
Residents of the area were said to have been
infuriated by the suspect’s act, as an angry mob reportedly gathered,
with the intention to revenge Fawole’s act but immediately police
officers and men attached to Modakeke Division of the Osun State Police
Command were alerted on the occurrence, Crime Reports gathered that they quickly moved to the scene to control the crowd and prevent a serious crisis from erupting.
