A Karu Senior Magistrates’
court 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, summarily sentenced Alonge
without an option of fine after the convict admitted to committing the offence
in court.
Alonge was arraigned by the police
on a one-count charge of causing grievous hurt on Nna, her boyfriend, who lives
in Kurudu, Abuja. The Police Prosecutor, Cpl. Paschal Njoku, had earlier told
the court that Nna reported the incident at Kurudu Police Station on August 11.
The police prosecutor said Alonge
went to Nna’s house at about 4:30 a.m. on the fateful day and poured hot oil on
him while he was asleep, resulting in grievous hurt on his body. He said she
was immediately arrested by the police, and confession to committing the crime
before the police.
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 falling in love with another
woman in Abuja. According to her, she did it to teach him a lesson, since he
reneged in his promise.
He fooled me and my parents and
ditched me after finding a new lover here in Abuja. I live in Lagos with my
parents.
