“My scream alerted my children, who stormed my room as my body was already peeling.

“My children rushed me to the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi, where I am receiving treatment.

“What baffled me was that we did not quarrel, no fight, no disagreement that would have warranted him to scald my skin,” she said.

The woman revealed that her husband has since absconded the house after inflicting grievous pains on her.

She added that her husband has run to his village in Owerri, Imo State.

The image maker of the police in the state, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said he has not got any information about the incident.
