The incident, according to the report lodged at Lafenwa Divisional Police Headquarters, Abeokuta by a brother to the deceased, happened on February 12, 2022, when the suspect, who was having a minor disagreement with her husband, boiled a pot of water and poured it on her husband who was then sleeping, thereby causing him a grievous bodily harm.
