Woman languishes in hospital months after landlady bathes her with peppery hot water

In Anambra State, one Imabong William is fighting for her life after her landlady poured hot water mixed with pepper on her.

The victim, who resides in Enugwu-Ukwu in the South East, has been hospitalised since August 17 when the incident happened.

The landlady was said to have doused her with the peppery hot water over disagreement on rent increment.

William, middle-aged woman, who hails from Akwa Ibom, has appealed to Governor Chukwuma Soludo, and other individuals for assistance to save her life.

It’s gathered that the landlady, Amaka Okonkwo, is currently in police custody in connection to the incident.

Speaking with journalists on Friday, William lamented that she still feels burn pain as the hospital had stopped giving her medications for over a month due to her accumulated medical bills.

She said, “I have been in the hospital for over three months, though I’m healing gradually but I still feel pain. The doctor brought my bill last month and it has accumulated to N650,000.

“I am a trader, I do not have money anywhere to pay the bill which was why the hospital stop giving me any medications and treatment.

“I appeal to Governor Chukwuma Soludo and his wife, Dr Nonye Soludo, the Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, and well-meaning individuals to come to my aid”
