Mrs. Esther Godwin, a food vendor and housewife, has been taken into custody by the police for allegedly pouring hot water on her husband's mistress. The woman identified as Samuel Endurance, who is also a nursing mother, was accused of engaging in an affair with Esther's husband.
According to reports, the incident occurred at their residence in the Olofin hamlet of Idanre, within the Idanre Local Council Area. Esther allegedly invited the alleged mistress to their home under the pretense of collecting palm oil for her husband. Once inside, Esther confronted Samuel about her alleged involvement with her husband, to which Samuel denied any such relationship.
Witnesses state that Esther quickly retreated to her room and reemerged with a kettle filled with scalding hot water, which she proceeded to pour on Samuel's body. The victim was immediately rushed to a local medical facility but was later transferred to the General Hospital, Alade Idanre, where she is currently receiving medical treatment.
The Ondo police command apprehended Esther, the housewife, over the weekend in connection with the incident. The investigation is ongoing, and legal action will be taken accordingly.
