The Enugu state police command has confirmed the arrest of Emmanuel Opoku, the 28-year-old Ghanaian man who allegedly poured hot water on the breasts of his Lover, one Chiamaka Ngwu aged 25 at their home in Akuke-Awkunanaw, Enugu.

A statement released by the spokesperson of the state police command, ASP Ndukwe Ekea, says Opoku's arrest was sequel to a petition received at the command's headquarters on July 10 from Women Aid Collective (WACOL), Enugu that he allegedly committed the act on June 23 following a misunderstanding between the lovers.

''Preliminary investigation reveals that the lovers have been together for over three (3) years with three (3) children, but are yet to be customarily or otherwise married. It further shows that they had misunderstanding on the said date, which led to the suspect pouring hot water, intended for the preparation of pap, all over the victim’s breasts. This caused her grievous bodily harm'' the statement read

The spokesperson said Opoku has been charged to court and remanded in Police custody for further hearing.

He added that the state Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmad AbdurRahman MCPSS, MCJ, MNIM has directed the immediate launch, timely completion of investigation and prosecution of the suspect.
