It was a love story that turned awry, leading to the death of 27
-year old Ladi Moses. Ladi was allegedly bathed with acid by her
supposed angry boy friend who was overwhelmed by jealousy and envy. An ex-student of Government Secondary School, Barkin Ladi, Plateau
State, Ladi met her untimely death after the deadly attack a few days
ago.
Vanguard Metro, VM gathered from an eyewitness that the deceased was
attacked by a young man popularly called “Baba” at the old Nigeria
Prison Service Yard in the Wadata area of Makurdi town where she lived
with her parents until her death. According to the source, the duo had been in secret romance over a
period of time until the relationship went sour. The source explained
that the love birds had carried on despite accusations and counter
accusations of infidelity by both parties. However, efforts were made by friends to resolve their differences
when it became obvious that the said Baba was getting desperate and
restive about the crisis, yielded no positive results. “Actually we thought that they had resolved their differences until
the unfortunate incident that led to the death of Ladi which no one
envisaged. “From what we heard, on that fateful day, Baba called her out of the
house around 7pm in the guise that he wanted to discuss an important
issue not knowing that disaster awaited her. Unfortunately when the lady
approached him, he engaged her in a heated argument which led to a
struggle between them. We heard that it was in the heat of the quarrel
that Baba removed a bottle containing a chemical suspected to be acid,
from his pocket and poured the contents on the lady who instantly
screamed and fell to the ground,” the source recounted. Continuing, he said, “He (Baba) immediately fled the scene and left
the lady who was screaming and wailing for help. The passers-by who were
unaware of what was happening, ran for their lives because we all know
that Wadata is an area in Makurdi town that is known for cult
activities. It was neighbours who heard her cry, that rushed to the
scene to see what was happening. But before their arrival, Baba had fled
and disappeared from the area. She was immediately rushed to the nearby
Makurdi Federal Medical Centre where she was admitted for treatment.
But after a while, went into coma and eventually passed on.” The source told VM that when the unfortunate incident filtered into
town, the vigilante group in the area mounted a search for Baba. “He was eventually arrested at one of the motor parks in town when he
was about boarding a taxi out of Makurdi town. The vigilante group
arrested and handed him over to the police at ‘A’ Division, Wadata,
where he was detained to enable the Police carry out their
investigations and interrogation,” he added. According to the source, Ladi did not survive the first degree burns
as she died two days after her admission in the hospital, inspite of
efforts by the medical personnel to save her life.When Vanguard Metro
visited the home of the deceased, her heart -broken parents were still
in shock and unable to speak on the incident. When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Matthew
Oku, who confirmed the attack, said the Command was yet to received
situation reports from medical doctors who treated the deceased lady. Oku, however assured that the Police were investigating the
unfortunate incident, promising that the law would take its full course
