If love tire you look for beta way to resolve am instead of wetin this young man do. anyways, back to the news.
On Monday, a 37-year-old bar operator who was identified as
Lucky Esonahae was arraigned on one count bordering on causing
bodily harm by setting his pregnant lover on fire.
The prosecuting officer, Sergeant Ganiyu Yahya, told the court that
the incident took place at Uwelu Quartres in Benin, and was
reported by the victim, Stella Isaac, on July 6, the same day it
occurred.
Yahya said Esonahae poured kerosene on Stella, who was said to
be 7 months pregnant, lit a match and set her on fire.
He said that the victim was later rescued by one of her sons and
her neighbours, who forced the door of her room open, as she had
been locked in.
He said the victim, who was later rushed to the Central Hospital,
where she received treatment sustained burns on her hands and
forehead.
The police prosecutor also told the court that Esonahae had earlier
accused the pregnant woman of infidelity for allegedly returning at
about 6pm from her ante-natal care and had threatened to kill her,
before she ran to her sister’s residence.
The charge read:
“That you, Lucky Esonahae, on July 6, 2015, at Uwelu Quartres,
Benin, in the Egor Magisterial District, did cause grievous harm to
one Stella Isaac, by setting her on fire with kerosene, which cause
her bodily harm and, thereby, committed an offence punishable
under Section 355(B) of the Criminal Code Cap 48, Vol. II, Law of
the defunct Bendel State of Nigeria, 1976, as applicable to Edo
State.”
The accused pleaded guilty to the offence and begged for leniency.
But the presiding magistrate, Igho Braimoh, said the court would
not be lenient, adding, “for a 37-year-old man to set a lover on
fire leaves much to be desired.”
She, therefore, sentenced him to 5 years in prison with hard labour.
left to me that sentence is not hard enough.
A site that looks at the good,the bad and even the sordid details of socio-political issues of all ramifications just the way they happen. Enjoy!
