Lady Scalded With Burning Stove Insists On Justice
A 32-year old lady, Miss Jane Amos, who was scalded with burning stove allegedly by a Police Officer at her compound in Rumukwuota,Obio/Akpor Local Government Area last month has dismissed insinuation making the rounds that she has abandoned the case.
Miss Jane Amos made the disclosure in an interview with journalists, shortly after she was discharged from the hospital over the weekend where she has been on admission for one month.
She said “I want to use this opportunity to dismiss the rumour making the rounds that I have abandoned the case of the Police officer, Ezekah Akbelu, who threw burning stove at me that resulted in severe burns on my body. There is no iota of truth in the rumour. I have been on admission for one month in the hospital and when I was being discharged, the Doctors said I will be coming for treatment every two days”.
She disclosed that the Police Officers investigating the case from State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) visited her at the hospital and took her statement.
Miss Amos noted that it is a clear case of attempted murder, saying: “My being alive today is an act of God”.
“Even though there is pressure from some quarters on me and my family to abandon the case, I want to state clearly that I have not and will not abandon the case. I want Justice to be seen and done in the matter. I have suffered severe pains, trauma and great financial loss, since the day the incident occurred. I call on the Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, CP Friday Eboka to use his good office to ensure Justice is not denied me in this matter”, Amos added.
She thanked the media, humans right organizations and Nigerians for all their efforts in ensuring Justice is done in the matter.
Recall that miss Jane Amos in an interview with journalists as at the time of incident, disclosed that the officer developed hate for her after she turned down his alleged love advance and friendship proposal.
The spokesperson for the Rivers State Police command, DSP Grace Iringe Koko had confirmed the arrest and detention of the Police Officer to journalists, while adding that investigation is ongoing at State CIID.
As at press time, it is not clear if the Police officer who was arrested then is still in police custody.
