In a disturbing incident in Torkpumbu village, Dama Chiefdom, Kenema District, a 45-year-old farmer, Abu Torkpumbu, is hospitalized after his wife, Yatta Kamara, allegedly sprayed caustic soda on him out of jealousy.

The incident unfolded Wednesday night, leaving Torkpumbu critically injured.

Torkpumbu had considered starting a new relationship due to ongoing issues with his wife. Unaware, his wife discovered his intentions and closely monitored his actions.

In a jealous rage, Yatta Kamara poured caustic soda on Torkpumbu’s face, causing severe injuries.

Describing his wife as dangerous, Torkpumbu expressed shock at her actions, despite their previous conflicts.

With four children together, jealousy appears to be the motive behind Kamara’s attack.

Torkpumbu is receiving treatment at Kenema Government Hospital, while police investigate the incident.

The community condemns such violence, highlighting the need for intervention in domestic disputes.

Authorities stress the importance of seeking help for relationship issues rather than resorting to violence.
