The incident happened on February 23 at Akwuke in Enugu State, where Chintua resides with her husband and where she poured the hot water on the victim, Emmanuel Anyebe. It was gathered that Anyebe was about to take his own bath when Chintua poured the hot water on him....
The victim sustained severe injuries as a result of the incident, and was taken to a hospital.
In her account to the police, she said she took the action to punish
Anyebe who saw her nakedness after he allegedly peeped at her in the
bathroom.
She said, “On that fateful day, as I was taking my bath, Anyebe peeped on me while trying to gain access into the bathroom, and in the process, saw my nakedness.”
Chintua, who said she was angered at the invasion of her privacy, later heated a pot of water and when it became boiled, she poured the contents on Anyebe.
But she added that she was sorry for the injury, explaining that it was the handiwork of the devil.
Anyebe reportedly lost consciousness as a result of the excruciating pain, and was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.

before I could do same.”
