A mother in Cross River State has reportedly poured her son with hot water over his girlfriend.
Mrs Maryam Zakari bathed her son, Babanne Abdulahi with hot water she had boiled after sighting both lovers in the boy’s room.
Zakari committed the crime on August 31 at Bogobiri, the Hausa-Fulani residential area in the city.
An eyewitness who spoke to newsmen explained that the mother called for help immediately after the act.
Abdulahi was rushed to a private clinic in Calabar for medication, according to the source.
It was reported that both parents of the victim chose to remain mute over the incident.
The eyewitness suggested that Zakari’s action was not only triggered by her son’s effrontery to bring his girlfriend to their home but that he has failed to support the family financially because of her.

The source said;
“The woman saw the boy in his room with his girlfriend Instead of cautioning him verbally, she decided to drench the young man with hot water. She poured the hot water on his body and shouted out for help.
“It is not just the girlfriend issue but because the son does not remit his daily wages to her but gives it to his girlfriend.”
