Housewives bath themselves with a kettle of hot water over lover!

The two women was said to have emptied a kettle of hot water on each other as an argument had ensued between them over their lover. Both are currently receiving treatment in the

hospital. According to punch, the incident happened during a brawl which occurred at their residence in the Yaba, Lagos State, on Saturday, invoving Muyibat, 29, and Biliki, 32. Biliki relocated to the house, her parents’ house, after separating from her husband, while Muyibat lives in the house with her husband and 3 children.

Narrating her side of the story, Muyibat said, “Biliki told neighbours that she once dated my husband and that she aborted for him during their relationship. She calls me Iyawo Sara (free wife). She fights me over every minor issue.

On Saturday, my child was crying and Biliki’s younger brother, Ahmed, came out and shouted at him and I cautioned him. His sister then picked up a quarrel with me and started raining curses on me. I did not talk because I was observing a fast.

While she was abusing me, I sneezed and said, ‘Ausubillahi minashaitani rojeem’ (God, deliver me from the devil).” She thought I was referring to her and queried me for calling her a devil.

Afterwards, I removed the water I was boiling and put it on the table. She (Biliki) held my head from behind and poured the hot water on me. Her younger brother slammed a plastic paint on my head, while she drew my hair."

However, Biliki denied the allegations, saying Muyibat was the first to attack her. She denied ever dating Muyibat’s husband, saying: “Her child had come to play with my baby when she called him back. When the child didn’t heed her call, she hit him and the child started crying.

Another child passing through the passageway was also crying that partcular time. My younger brother asked the other boy to stop crying and Muyibat abused my brother. I told him not to reply her, then she started insulting me. We fought and our neighbours came to separate us.

I was backing her when somebody suddenly shouted, ‘hot water!’ As I turned back with my hands raised, she emptied a kettle of hot water on me. Because my hand was raised when she attacked me, a little of the water splashed on her.” Both were admitted to a general hospital after an approval by the police.
