A married man has been bathed with hot oil after being accused of rape in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
It was gathered that the man, who is a banker was left with severe burn injury after his mistress allegedly poured hot oil on him over allegations of rape.
The unfortunate incident was said to have occurred on Tuesday, April 27, at his residence in Games Village, Abuja.
According to a source, the man, whose family resides in Lagos was rescued by neighbours after his lover set his AC ablaze from outside and locked him inside the room to suffocate to death.
“The banker whose wife and kids reside in Lagos, have been with the mistress for a while. They were together last night, not knowing she had plans to kill him.
“This morning, when he went into the bathroom to have his bath and prepare for work, she allegedly sneaked into the kitchen and hit up oil. She poured it on him as soon as he came out. She told the police the man is always raping her anytime she visits him.
“That the man always drugs her before taking advantage of her. This is not the first time she attempted to kill him. Two months ago she set his AC ablaze from outside and locked him inside the room to suffocate to death. But fortunately, neighbours rescued him,” the source said.
