Hungry man yearned food, got hot water bath from wife

The idiom of ‘an hungry man is an angry man’ was defeated as an hungry man became a victim of hot water bath.

A housewife, identified as Iya Deborah allegedly poured a bowl of hot water on her husband, Ajagadi in Gbagidi, Ijanikin, Lagos state.

It was reported that Iya Deborah was bitter after her husband gave her N700, out of the N800 he had with him, instructing her to prepare yam and sauce as breakfast for the family.

She bought the yam, but emptied the boiling water on her husband, who was fiddling with his phone in the sitting room, waiting for his meal.

The couple, who have been married for eight years, have four children, including a six-month-old baby.

According to a neighbor: “I was in front of the compound when I heard the victim screaming and his wife running out of the compound as if the devil was chasing her. Neighbours who were still in the compound ran into their apartment only to see him in pains.

“When we asked him what happened, he said his wife poured hot water on him. We bought raw eggs and honey which we poured on the burns, before taking him to the hospital.”

‘It’s the devil’

A nurse revealed that the woman confessed to pouring hot water on her husband, because he was cheating on her and spending money on other women while giving her so little.

“When the wife of the victim came to the hospital, she kept saying that she did it because the money her husband gave to her was too little,” the nurse said.

Iya Deborah, who is currently undergoing interrogation at Ijanikin Police Divisional Headquarters, said: “I don’t know what came over me; it is the devil’s handiwork.”
