A 300-level student of Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO), Miracle Ogochukwu Chiagoziem has been arrested by the police for reportedly pouring hot water on her colleague Wisdom Uchenna Chukwuemeka, a 400 level student of Geology department.
Ogochukwu reportedly poured hot water on Chukwuemeka at their hostel in Eziobodo on Thursday afternoon, November 4, 2021, because he didn’t answer the door after she knocked to get toothpaste.
The suspect was said to have created a scene in front of Chukwuemeka’s door even though he had company, before returning to her room.
It was gathered that their argument became violent after Chukwuemeka confronted the suspect, who emptied a pot of hot water on him.
An eyewitness said; “Wisdom later come out to confront her over her behavior, and an argument ensued. She threatened to pour hot water on him if he doesn’t leave. A lady even stepped in to pacify them but before she could say Jack, Miracle carried out her threat. She emptied a pot of hot water on both wisdom and the lady.
“He’s currently hospitalized, severely scarred. The water was targeted at his private part and now his genitals are completely peeled. He is currently at risk of missing his entire exams for the current semester which may result in an extra year for him.”
