A housewife, Ramatu Abbas, is now in police net in Taraba State following her vicious attack on a 17-year-old girl, Iwasen Terhemba, which left the girl seriously injured and disfigured.
Ramatu had attacked the victim with a razor severely disfiguring her face. The incident took place in Donga Town.
The attack was allegedly fueled by suspicion that the woman’s husband was interested in the teenager.

It was gathered that the teenager, who lives with her guardian, Jemila Wanga, had been approached several times by Ramatu’s husband. She reportedly rejected his advances at every turn, stating clearly that she was not interested.
However, the wife, acting on suspicion, stormed the guardian’s residence while she was away and used a razor to disfigure the teenager’s face.
The spokesman for the Taraba State Police Command, Victor Mshelizah, noted in a short message that the command has swung into action.
According to him, “The issue is being taken care of already. The suspect is in custody while the victim is recovering. The case will soon be charged to court.”
