Love is wicked!

This 19 year old lady is not a victim of acid bath. Neither is she a victim of accident of any kind. No!

Obiageli Nnaude, an indigene of Oghe community, Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu state, is wearing this most horrible look courtesy of her live-in lover, Chinedu Nwanmo.

Chinedu, a native of Enugwu-Ukwu in Anambra state, last year, December 31, sprayed a gallon of kerosene on Obiageli, and, subsequently, set her ablaze with the aid of a lighter. Obiageli ran confusedly amidst shouts of agony. By the time rescue came her way, the anguished lady was burnt up. More heart-rending is the fact that Obiageli was a nursing mother at the time of this fire attack by her heartthrob. She had, a year back, fell in love with Chinedu. Love-sick she became that she, subsequently, broke loose from her mother’s control (She is fatherless), and relocated to live with the beast (Chinedu) in his Enugwu-Ukwu home.

KlinReports was told that trouble started when Chinedu, a commercial bus driver, returned home the previous day, December 30, with a lady who Obiageli suspected was his mistress. Obiageli, understandably, protested Chinedu’s action. Reminding the girl that Chinedu was married to her, Obiageli asked the invading mistress to stay away from her spouse.

At this point, Chinedu descended on Obiageli, beating her to a pulp. Thereafter, he went ahead to sleep with his mistress for the night.

And if Obiageli thought the matter was all over, she was dead wrong! Chinedu returned to the house in the morning, and took away the one year old baby Obiageli was suckling. He bathed the child and took him away to his mother in their family house nearby.

Unable to let go of her baby, Obiageli traced the child to Chinedu’s family house. While she was having a chat with Chinedu’s mother over last night’s incident, Chinedu appeared from inside the house where he was having his rest, and demanded to know why Obiageli had trailed him to the house.

Without waiting for an answer, Chinedu ran to their apartment and brought out all the clothes and personal property of Obiageli and set them on fire. By this time, Obiageli had arrived at the scene to witness the burning of her belongings. Chinedu dashed back to the room and brought a gallon of kerosene, poured it all over Obiageli and other sympathizers.

Knowing that danger was afoot, Obiageli took to her heels, but Chinedu’s pace was swifter. He closed in on her, held her by the collar of her dress, and ignited his cigarette lighter on her. Obiageli went ablaze! By the time sympathizers and the neighborhood put off the raging fire, Obiageli had sustained first degree burns all over her body.

Obiageli has, since then, been writhing in pains at a hospital in Enugwu-Ukwu community where Chinedu consigned her to.

Amaoge, Obiageli’s poor and illiterate mother, laments that Chinedu and his family had refused to take her daughter to the National Orthopedic Hospital, Enugu where she could be given the right medical treatment. Amaoge, also, regrets that up until now, no report was lodged to the police regarding the incident. Worse-still, Chinedu and his family members do not show any remorse concerning the fire attack on Obiageli, as they continue to taunt her even on her sick bed.

All in all, Obiageli’s mother calls on members of the public to come to her daughter’s aide through donation of money to commence her treatment at the Orthopedic Hospital. Amaoge says she presently requires about N200, 000.00 for the initial treatments on her.

“I have no hope of saving my daughter’s life except I get financial help from the government and members of the public. Please, I need help”, the distraught middle aged woman cried out while talking to KlinReports.

And unless help comes, Obiageli, according to the doctor, may soon die as the burns are going septic.
