Miracle Ogochukwu Chiagoziem, a 300-level student at the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO), has been detained for allegedly pouring hot water on her colleague Wisdom Uchenna Chukwuemeka, a 400-level student in the Geology department.
On Thursday afternoon, November 4, 2021, Ogochukwu allegedly poured boiling water on Chukwuemeka at their hostel in Eziobodo because he didn't answer the door after she knocked to get toothpaste.
The arrested student was said to have created a scene in front of Chukwuemeka's door even though he had company, before returning to her room.
However, after being approached by a Geology student, their dispute escalated, and she ended up pouring boiling water on him.
An eyewitness said;
“Wisdom later come out to confront her over her behavior, and an argument ensued. She threatened to pour hot water on him if he doesn’t leave. A lady even stepped in to pacify them but before she could say Jack, Miracle carried out her threat. She emptied a pot of hot water on both wisdom and the lady.
"He’s currently hospitalized, severely scarred. The water was targeted at his private part and now his genitals are completely peeled. He is currently at risk of missing his entire exams for the current semester which may result in an extra year for him."
