A source in the Meiran division of the Lagos State Police Command disclosed that the suspect would be transferred to the state Criminal Investigation Department once the investigation was completed.

The police source further assured the public that the matter would be thoroughly investigated, adding that the division was monitoring the progress of the husband, who had been hospitalised since the incident.
The police said,
“It is true the incident happened. The incident happened about six days ago. It was a true story. She poured hot water on her husband purposely because she felt that he cheated on her.
“They were supposed to go to a party together. However, the husband went all alone. We are still monitoring the progress of the husband because he has been hospitalised since that day. He has not been discharged.
“We arrested the wife immediately because that is a capital offence. There is no option for bail. We are waiting for the appropriate time for us to move the case to the state CID.”
Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident to NAN, said it happened on December 18, 2023.
