The cause of the public brawl was not disclosed by the Police. But it was alleged that the suspect had a disagreement with the victim and in the process, she carried the hot oil and poured it on him, which caused serious injury on the victim’s hand, back and head.

The victim was rushed to an undisclosed hospital for treatment and the matter was reported to the Police in the area. The suspect was arrested and detained at the station for interrogation over her alleged conduct against the victim.

After thorough interrogation,  the Police found her culpable and charged her before the Ogba Magistrate Court for the alleged offence which attracts several years of imprisonment.
