A 27-year-old woman, Mary Sunday, has been in the hospital bed at Igbobi Orthopaedic Hospital seven months after she was allegedly attacked by her fiancé, Corporal Isaac Gbanwuan, with a pot of boiling stew and a lighted stove. It was learnt that Sunday had lost her ears due to the attack.
According to Mary:
Quote
“I have known Gbanwuan for a while, while I was still a student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, but it wasn’t until our marriage introduction in 2011 that I moved in with him at the Pedro Police Barracks, Lagos. “On the day I was assaulted, Gbanwuan and I went to see our doctor. We had some health issues. While we were on our way back home, I made a phone call. Immediately we got home, Gbanwuan started querying me. He accused me of keeping lovers and claimed the person I called was my lover. “I tried to explain to him that it was my sister I called, but Gbanwuam was not listening. He began to beat me,” “Then to the horror of those who tried to intervene, Gbanwuan seized his neighbour’s cooking stove on which was a pot of boiling stew, emptying the entire contents on me. “I don’t know for how long I was unconscious but I was later told that I was in a coma for seven days. I learnt the stove also exploded after Gbanwuan threw it with the boiling soup at me. “I was first rushed to a private hospital at Bariga before I was eventually transferred to Igbobi hospital. “I couldn’t tell my family for a while because I could not use my hands; they were sort of stuck to my chest. It was after much treatment, that I was able to use my hands and call my family.”
...but when PUNCH Metro contacted Gbanwaun, he denied causing any harm to his fiancée.
He said,

“What Mary has told you are all lies. She has been going about saying all sorts of things about me. “That is how she wrote a petition through her lawyer to the Lagos State Police Command. Anyway, the matter is already being investigated by the command"

She suppose to have been celebrating valentine with him today but the opposite is the case. Ladies stop bragging about your bf, he can turn out to be a devil any moment before you.

How and why people do these things, I will never understand it! He cannot deny it as there were witnesses there. Afterall, was it not a neighbor's pot of stew and stove he thrown on her? Nonsense man.

What are u talking about? That's still not an excuse for what he did, husband or not. Infact, the fact that she isn't his should even be more of a reason why he should not have done it.

The issue here is that a man had the heart to do this to a fellow being!
It does not matter weather they were married or not,sister,mother,father,brother or whatever.
It is simply crazy to act this way!

Really??? She said she couldnt call her family because of the wound but let me tell you the truth, her reason for not calling her family all this while was because she was ashame to tell her family she sustained such wound from a boy friend, a guy her family might not even know. Serves her right
