Scorned lover bathes ex-girlfriend with acid in Lagos

The Lagos state police have arrested a 30-year-old factory worker, Paul Nwokobia, for an acid attack, which has left his former gf, Rosemary, a 23-year-old caterer, badly disfigured.
It was learnt that for many years, Nwokobia, a Delta State indigene and Rosemary Nnaife, the caterer (also from Delta State) were lovers but fell apart in November 2014, when Rosemary concluded that suspect had become irresponsible.
Rosemary, who is battling to survive in intensive care at Lagos University Teaching Hospital said before their breakup, Nwokobia had issued a threat that if she decided to leave him, he would make sure that no other man married her.
But she apparently did not take the threat seriously.
A source familiar with the case said that in June 2015, Nnaife received an anonymous call on her mobile phone. The voice at the other end was that of a lady, who told her she wanted to celebrate her birthday and needed the services of a caterer.
Nnaife told the police
