According to her, prior to the acid attack last Sunday, she told her boyfriend Hammajoda who is an auto mechanic she would no marry him after she discovered that he is already married, this resulted to a heated argument and her boyfriend threatened her saying, “everyone will lose.”

She said, “He had threatened my life when I told him that our relationship would not lead to marriage.

“I refused to marry him because I sensed he was lying to me about virtually everything. For instance, He told me that he was not married, but I found out he lied about it.

“I confronted him about it, and in a heated argument, I told him I won’t marry him; so he threatened me saying if I don’t marry him, everyone will lose.

“Shortly thereafter, my mother was burnt to death in her room; but as of that time, I couldn’t link it to Hammajoda’s threat.

“Last Sunday, I was lying down in the open within our compound due to power outage when someone tiptoed in the dark and poured acid on me.”

Hammajoda, who is currently in police detention at the Criminal Investigation Department in connection with the crime, has denied the allegation.
