It’s like the new way of punishment is via Hot Water…remember hat happened (HERE) three days ago?
Well, another woman, Owolati Laide, 45, has been sentenced to three months imprisonment by
an FCT Area Court in Lugbe, on Thursday for pouring hot water on her
husband.
According to a report by Vanguard, the Judge, Mr Gambo Garba, gave
Laide an option of N5, 000 fine because of her six- month old baby. The
convict had pleaded guilty and begged the court to tamper justice with
mercy.
She said, “ Please sir, don’t send me to jail because of my six
months old baby. I am so sorry for what I did; it was the devil that
lured me into this act. I will not do it again. I just discovered that
my husband has other five wives without my consent. When I confronted
him, he started beating me and I had injuries all over my body. So, when
I was washing my face with hot water, he came and started beating me.
In the process the hot water poured on him. I did not intentionally pour
hot water on the man, please sir, forgive me, ’’ she pleaded
Owolati Tajudeem, her husband, had told the court that Laide got
annoyed because his second wife who was pregnant came from Lagos without
her consent, “She is aware of my marriage to other five wives,” he
said.
