The Lagos Police Command has confirmed the arrest of a woman, Dorcas Oluwabukola, for allegedly bathing her husband with hot water because he didn’t take her to a wedding party.

The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest to journalists on Monday.

Mr Hundeyin said that the incident happened on December 18, while the suspect was arrested the same day after the Meiran Police Division got information about it.

He said investigation into the case had begun, stressing that the man was responding to treatment at an undisclosed hospital.

Sources had earlier reported that the woman got angry with her husband, who attended his childhood friend’s wedding without taking her along.

An argument ensued between the couple on alleged infidelity, which led to an altercation between them, and the wife later boiled water, which she allegedly poured on the man.

The husband and wife were supposed to go to the wedding party together, but the husband later chose to go alone.
