The suspect identified as Mrs Florence Njideka Chukwuma, a resident of No 48 Olukotun street, Ejigbo, allegedly poured a gallon of petrol on her husband, Chinedu, during a quarrel over a property and tried to set him ablaze. Fortunately, the 47-year-old man escaped by jumping a fence before she could commit the heinous act. He sustained minor injuries from the attack.
Mrs Chukwuma was alleged to have destroyed some imported vehicles and house properties worth millions of naira and drove her husband out of the house which he built.
Chinedu filed for a divorce before Lagos High court. In the suit, he accused his estranged wife of attempted murder and destruction of properties worth worth millions of naira. He also alleged that the marriage fell apart due to her constant fighting, nagging, intimidation and harassment.
Their traditional ruler in Nnewi in Anambra state, Igwe Kenneth Orizu has waded into the matter and separated the couple after the council discovered that the marriage has broken down irretrievably.
