Man Bathes Girlfriend With Acid

Blessing’s story is a sad one. Her ordeal began when she told his boyfriend, who is now in police custody in Benin, that she was no longer interested in what she described as “uninspiring relationship.”

The news did not go down well with him. He visited her house and asked for a talk.

The victim had gone outside to meet with the man whom she thought might have come to settle with her and probably, persuade her to continue in the relationship, but to Blessing’s shock, she was bathed with acid.

From that fateful day, she has seized to see and has been on admission at the UBTH. Doctors in the hospital believe she may never see again except she is flown to a specialist hospital in India, where her sight could be restored.

Some men can be so mean. Why would you bathe someone with acid just because she said she is no longer interested?
