Jilted wife takes out frustration on pregnant woman; slashes her face with razor

A woman whose husband threw out of his house took her frustration out on another neighbour by slashing her face with a razor blade.

Chinwe Ogbachi, the aggressor

The incident which saw Ogbaichi arrested and charged before an Apapa Magistrates' Court, happened at the compound the duo live at Bright Road in Ajangbadi area of Lagos State, when Onwuzuruike intervened during a fight between Ogbaichi and another woman who is equally pregnant.

It was gathered that the victim had tried to caution Ogbachi, a mother of four kids, when she engaged the other tenant in a fight but she got mad and dashed into her room, brought out a razor blade with which she used to lacerate the intruder.

The bleeding Onwuzuruike was rushed to th Ilogbo General Hospital whil the matter was reported at Ajangbadi Police Division and Ogbachi was arrested and detained at the station.

The now sober Ogbachi, in an interview, said she did not know what came over her when she attacked Onwuzuruike because she had been traumatised since her husband left her.
