Lovemaking turned sorrow for a Kano couple after an unidentified person
poured acid on them during sexual intercourse. According to sources,
the incident occurred penultimate week at the couple’s house in the
Gyadi Gyadi /Karkasara area of Kano. It was gathered that the unidentified perpetrator fled before neighbours responded to the couple’s distress call. Although the husband has since been admitted in an undisclosed hospital,
it was gathered that the wife, Amina Moses(pictured), was the worst
hit. Amina, according to a source, was first admitted in Aminu Kano
Specialist Hospital, where she spent some days and was treated. One of the eyewitnesses who asked not be named told The Nation Newspaper that the closeness
of the couple’s bed to the window of their apartment made it easy for
their assailant to carry out the dastardly act.
She said: “Amina and her husband called Moses were making love in the
evening of the unfortunate day, when they suddenly raised the alarm that
someone had poured a liquid substance on them through their window.
“We rushed into their room only to find them in pains. Amina was the one
that was badly hit by the liquid substance suspected to be acid. She
was treated at the Aminu Kano Specialist Hospital and their assailant
has not been apprehended as we speak despite the fact that the matter
was reported to the state police command.
“The closeness of their bed
to the window made it easy for their attacker to successfully carry out
his mission and escape without being apprehended.”
