A Karu Senior Magistrates’ court, yesterday,
sentenced a 25-year-old woman, Victoria
Alonge, to one-year in jail for pouring hot oil on
her boyfriend, Roland Nna, over his refusal to
marry her.
The Senior Magistrate, Omolola Akindele,
summarily sentenced Alonge without an option
of fine after the convict admitted to committing
the offence in court.
Alonge was arraigned by the police on a one-
count charge of causing grievous hurt on Nna,
her boyfriend, who lives in Kurudu, Abuja.
The Police Prosecutor, Cpl. Paschal Njoku, had
earlier told the court that Nna reported the
incident at Kurudu Police Station on August 11.
Njoku said Alonge went to Nna’s house at about
4:30 a.m. on the fateful day and poured hot oil
on him while he was asleep, resulting in
grievous hurt on his body.
He said she was immediately arrested by the
police, based on the report and confession to
committing the crime before the police.
Njoku said while in detention, Alonge threatened
to inflict more harm on the victim.
The prosecutor urged the court to summarily
punish the accused since she did not deny the
charge brought against her.
In her defence, Alonge told the court that her
estranged lover dated her for over four years
and promised to marry her, only for him to
change his mind after falling in love with
another women in Abuja.
She said: “I did that to teach him a bitter lesson
because he refused to marry me after dating me
for over four years.
“He fooled me and my parents and ditched me
after finding a new lover here in Abuja. I live in
Lagos with my parents.”
