She stated further that while she was trying to hold the suspect, she was also stabbed on her left hand by the same suspect.
Upon the report, the DPO Agbado division, CSP Kehinde Kuranga, detailed his men to the scene, where the suspect was promptly arrested.
”On interrogation, the suspect, Joy Sunday explained that the victim has been accusing her of sleeping with her husband for quite some time now, and all efforts to disabuse her mind from it proved abortive.
On that fateful day, while they were in the church, the victim came as usual and started raining curses on her.
While she tried to walk away from her, the victim pulled her back with her cloth and tore the cloth. It was that annoyance that made her to go home and boiled water which she brought back to the church and poured it on the victim’s face.
When asked whether or not she is dating the victim’s husband, the suspect said she can swear with anything that there is nothing between her and the victim’s husband.” Abimbola said
