Terrible! Married man bathes lady with acid for refusing to sleep with him [Warning: Graphic Photo]

The police in Rivers state have arrested a married man for bathing a 21-year-old lady with acid because she refused to date him. The suspect, Mr Moses reportedly attacked the victim, Mary Nnorodim and her siblings, a 12-year-old sister and 15- year-old brother, while they were asleep early this month. Mary and her sister were badly wounded, with their faces, chest and other parts of body damaged by the acid attack. The incident occurred at the victims’ residence at Railway Avenue, Akpajo Eleme in Rivers State. Moses was said to have persistently threatened Mary through phone messages, promising to deal with her because she declined his sexual advances. The victim, who is presently at an hospital in Port Harcourt, revealed that the suspect had previously told her that he’d make life miserable for her and her family. Meanwhile, Port Harcourt based human rights group, ‘Initiative for Advancement of Humanity’, has petitioned Rivers State Police Commissioner, Tunde Ogunshakin to transfer the case from Eleme Police station to the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID). The group insist that it is the only way a thorough investigation can be carried out on the matter.
