The woman who was attacked with acid a few days ago
died on Tuesday, November 10, at the Federal Medical
Centre, Markudi, where she was receiving treatment
for first degree burn.

Ladi Moses, 27, a resident of the old Nigerian Prison
Service Yard, Wadata, Makurdi was reportedly
attacked with acid by a young man suspected to be a
boyfriend.

“We heard that her supposed boyfriend, popularly
known as Baba, called her out of the house, saying he
had something to discuss with her.” an eyewitness
revealed.

“When the lady approached him, Baba removed a
bottle, containing substance suspected to be acid, from
his pocket and poured it on the lady, who screamed
and fell. As neighbours trooped out to see what was
happening, Baba fled.

The vigilante group in the area mounted a search for
him. He was eventually caught at one of the motor
parks in town, when he was about boarding a taxi out
of Makurdi.” he added
The suspect was subsequently handed over to the
police at ‘A’ Division, Wadata, where he is currently
being questioned.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Matthew Oku, who
confirmed the attack, said the command was yet to
receive situation reports from medical doctors who
treated the deceased.
