Jealous Wife Who Poured Acid On Husband’ s Mistress In Ile Ife Osun State Arrested

A housewife, 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.
It was said that peace was eventually restored to
the area after the suspect had been arrested. The
victim was also taken to Obafemi Awolowo
University Teaching Hospital Complex, (OAUTHC)
Ile-Ife for prompt medical attention. Her mouth
and tongue were said to have been badly affected
that she was being fed through the nose.
During interrogation, Fawole reportedly confessed
that she decided to teach the victim a lesson out
of frustration and fear of losing her husband to
the lady. The victim was said to be fond of going
to the matrimonial home of the suspect to meet
her husband with whom she was suspected of
having a relationship. Fawole admitted beating
Aderibigbe before pouring the acid on her.
