Angola-based businessman, Mr. Samuel Oraka, who was accused by his wife, Ifeoma, of pouring hot water on her, says she is to blame for the incident.
He added that Ifeoma had dragged the hot water container with him and in the process got scalded.
Oraka explained that he had wanted to use the hot water to prepare his food when his wife snatched the kettle from him and ended up pouring the water on herself and their houseboy, Nonso.
PUNCH Metro had reported on February 11, 2014 that Ifeoma was being treated for burns on her arm, neck and face in a hospital in Lagos.
The 35-year-old mother of four had told our correspondent that Samuel took a kettle of hot water from the gas cooker and emptied it on her, and later rubbed her scalded body with his bare hands.
But lawyers representing Samuel, Mike Moghalu and Co, said the allegations were false, adding that “fifth columnist, liberalist and all those who want to profit from such domestic conflict should stay clear.”
