A
Karu Senior Magistrate’s Court, Abuja has sentenced a 25-year-old
woman, Victoria Alonge, to one year in jail for pouring hot oil on her
boyfriend, Roland Nna, over his refusal to marry her.
The Senior Magistrate, Omolola Akindele, sentenced Alonge after the convict admitted to committing the offence.
Alonge was arraigned by the police on one count of causing grievous harm on Nna, who lives in Kurudu, Abuja.
The Police prosecutor, Corporal Paschal
Njoku, had earlier told the court that Nna reported the incident at
Kurudu Police Station on August 11.
Njoku said Alonge went to Nna’s house at about 4.30am on the fateful day and poured hot oil on him while he was asleep.
In her defence, Alonge told the court
that her estranged lover dated her for over four years and promised to
marry her, only for him to change his mind after meeting another woman
in Abuja.
She said, “I did that to teach him a bitter lesson because he refused to marry me after dating me for over four years.”
