Acid bath victim, Chika Egbo dies

Chike Egbo, the 25-year-old student of  Enugu State College of Education, who was bathed with acid by her estranged fiancé, David Suleiman, in November, has been reported dead.

Chika gave up the ghost early Thursday morning, on her hospital bed, at the Burns Unit of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.



Her father, Matthew Egbo, who confirmed the incident told Vanguard that his daughter fell into comma around 11: pm Wednesday night and was placed on a life-support machine before she gave up the ghost around 1:00 am, Thursday morning.

Suleiman was alleged to have attacked Chika and an Okada rider, identified as Sunny Daniel with a can of acid at Bakare Street, Ikotun, Lagos, on November 5, 2012, following Chika’s refusal to allow him access to their only child.

Suleiman, who was subsequently arrested by the police in Ikotun Police Station and was transferred to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, in Yaba, was later charged to an Ebute-Meta Magistrate court where he was  arraigned on a two counts charge of attempted murder and “causing grievous bodily harm.

Magistrate O. Olatunji who presided over the case granted him bail of N500, 000 with two sureties in like sum. The Magistrate in his ruling stated that the sureties must be blood relations and must present evidence of tax clearance.

It's so sad.Yet we should thank God for merciful grace to let her die. Living with that level of burns would be hellish. Let's pray part 2 of this story will be that the lover from hell is re-arrested by the police. Her father should be allowed to bathe him with acid too.Honestly.

Really? Are dey ok? Seriously? To start with,why re dey suppose to grant him bail without being sure of d victim surviving? Also,re dey tellin me dat an attempted murder is just 1.5mill naira wen it happens and u bail yourself out in nigeria?(Assuming the woman survived) Did dey even consider the damages the man caused the woman? What sort of rubbish amount is dat? What can 1.5mil naira do for her if she had survived d burns caused by d acid? I hope d family of d late lady acts fast,get him and drag d motherfucker back to court b4 he learns of her death and disappear.

Miss Pen said...

I do not intend to sound sarcastic or mean but somewhere in my heart I feel relieved she now rests from all the anguish and fears of what tomorrow could have held for her...until recently, I used to tell off anyone who accuses an African of being peculiarly mean and blood-lusty but these days I begin to agree...under strain Nigerians IN PARTICULAR could be severely mean. To imagine that the perpetrator's family may likely (as is the usual case in Nigeria) presently be running around looking for bribe-money for the police, judge et al to get a lucifer out of the law's hands IS ANGUISHING...God rest Chika Egbo, keep safe her child and blossom him/her into a light for Nigeria's future. May he/she never lack, may he/she become by the grace of Christ Jesus: first amongst his/her peers, pride to his/her community, nation and continent. Going out, coming in; sleeping nights, waking day, may God make him/her abide under the wings of His protection. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

After much thought, i have come to realise the fairest judgement the court can pass on Suleiman is to make him an unwitting organ donor to the advancement of medical science and to improve the quality of more deserving people's lives. I believe in this way a balance can also be achieved between good and evil.

Rada dan sensibly address d comment by Anon 2:36am Adey chose to throw caution to d wind and allow d tribalism dat flows in his generation to overwhelm him.

Now take dis:

Adey, u'r possibly writing frm ur father's homeland in Brazil. U'v forgotn so soon dat ur bigotic and diabolic tribe - Yoruba still remains d undisputed champion of tribalism; always trivialising and tribalising evry imprtnt issue. If dis evil ws meted out on a Yoruba by another tribe and if d name of d culprit doesn't sound like d Hausa, u'd conclude dat it's an Ibo and begin anoda round of trouble. Dis blog wd hv bn replete with ur senseless rantings. U'd claim dat d Edo, Urhobo, Ijaw, Ibiobio etc is Ibo, excpt if it is for ur political gain.
Right now u hv put ur June 12 and Odua republic in abeyance bcos u'r still busy grabbing d oil wealth frm anoda man's backyard. Hypocrites and evil-minded fellows dat don't appreciate d goodness in other ppl.
