A 45-year-old woman, Doris Lamptey who lives at Dodowa in the Shai Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region is on the run after pouring acid on her sleeping husband, Mr. Isaac Lamptey.
According to the victim, a mason, he returned home from Dodowa after working there for two and half months.
Three days later, his wife who also traveled returned.
Narrating his ordeal on Oyerepa Afutuo, Thursday, he stated that on the same evening his wife attempted to seduce him which was strange because of a rancor between them therefore he resisted.
“She asked me to help open her zip for her which I did. I went to bath and ate. She asked the children who were with us to close the gate. I went to bed and she came to the room and asked me to sleep in supine position so she puts her head on me which I said I was tired so she should allow me to sleep.
“I slept off but she poured acid on my face and my body while sleeping . I suddenly woke up and attempted to rush out to call for help but she struck my head with a stick so I fell down. She thought I was dead so she left me. I managed to get up and run away from the room screaming for help”.
Mr. Lamptey lamented that he has no problem with his wife.
“I didn’t have problem with her. We don’t have children but she rather faked pregnancy three times and later said she had miscarriage. She kept defaming my character all over”. he told Aunty Naa host of the show.
“last time she collected GHC1,500 from me that she was going to conduct surgery which was a lie. The other time, she came to me again that she needed Ghc500 to buy medicine but I didn’t get for her and she became angry so since then we have not been in good terms”. He added.
The acid attack has affected the eyesight of the man, burnt his face and neck region.
The once vibrant Mason and farmer has become incapacitated.
