Housewife jailed for pouring hot water on her husband who has 5 other wives without her knowledge

“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. Earlier, the prosecutor, Cpl. Lliyau Maji, prayed the court to try the convict summarily since she admitted committing the crime. Maji told the court that the accused husband reported the matter at Iddo Police Station, Abuja, on Jan. 2.
Maji said that the complainant claimed that the accused person poured hot water on him all over his body while he was asleep in the night. The prosecutor said the accused person committed the crime out of provocation.
Maji alleged that the accused person intentionally committed the action that contravened Section 245 of the Penal Code.
