Newly wedded house wife, Amina pours husband with hot water for stopping her from calling men in Niger state

Following an argument over her frequent phone calls with other men in Kontagora LGA of Niger State, Amina Abashe, a recently married woman, was reported to have poured boiling water on her husband, Shehu Abdullahi.

Speaking with City & Crime over the phone from his hospital bed at Kontagora General Hospital, the husband, Abdullahi, stated that they were married two months ago following the passing of his previous wife.

He claimed that his wife had tried to kill him by stabbing him initially, but he was able to seize the knife from her before she could pour the boiling water over him.

Abdullahi explained that two months after the marriage was contracted, his wife refused to move to his house and that he went to her parents’ house to complain.

He said that on Tuesday evening, the day the incident happened, his wife called him on phone to come to their house and that right there, she told him that she was no longer interested in the marriage, saying that she had someone who would pay back his dowry.

He alleged that at that same venue, she was on the phone with a man suspected to be her boyfriend.

He added that, “At that point I became angry and attempted to seize the phone from her and she took a knife to stab me but I was able to collect the knife from her.’’

Efforts to get the reaction of the state’s police spokesman, SP Wasiu Abiodun, were not successful.
