A certain man named Paul Nwokobia has been arragned in court for
bathing his ex-girlfriend, Rosemary Nnaife, with acid because she called
off their relationship.
He was dragged to the Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates' Court in Lagos
State where he has been remanded in prison custody pending when he
perfects his bail conditions.
Nwokobia, who claimed to be a factory worker, and resides at No.
17, Okejide Street, Ejigbo, is facing a three-count charge of
conspiracy, unlawfully causing grievous harm and use of dangerous
substance.

that he and others at large committed the offences on June 3 at about
8.30 pm at Lawanson Bus stop, Itire, when they poured the subtance on
the lady who is currently in the hospital.

their affair because of his unserious and lazy attitude to life.
