A violent altercation over property ownership has left the community in shock after Kadiatu Coker allegedly attacked Haja Konneh with a corrosive substance.
The incident, which stems from a decade-long dispute over a two-bedroom house, has intensified public outcry over unresolved family conflicts.
The contentious property, originally built by Haja Konneh’s late husband and Kadiatu Coker’s elder brother, has been a source of tension between the two women since his death.
Haja Konneh claims the house symbolizes the life she and her husband built together, while Kadiatu Coker argues it holds sentimental value as part of her brother’s legacy.
Witnesses recount that the dispute reached a boiling point when Kadiatu, during an argument, allegedly doused Haja Konneh with a liquid believed to be caustic soda.
Despite Kadiatu’s claims that the substance was merely a mixture of pepper and water, onlookers believe the burns sustained by Haja Konneh were caused by the caustic soda Kadiatu had reportedly purchased days earlier.
The assault occurred near the Eastern Police Station along the Bo-Kenema Highway, prompting immediate intervention from bystanders who rushed Haja Konneh to the hospital.
A medical report confirmed the severity of her injuries. Authorities promptly arrested Kadiatu Coker, who is now detained at the Central Police Division as investigations continue.
This incident has raised serious concerns about the escalation of family disputes into violent confrontations.
The community is calling for a thorough investigation and swift justice to prevent further tragedies. Meanwhile, social commentators emphasize the need for mediation in property conflicts to avoid such destructive outcomes.
If indeed the property was built by Haja Konneh and her husband as alleged, then it is her property following the demise of her husband. Kadiatu Koker has no business claiming ownership of the property. She should be imprisoned for a long period of time for her satanic behaviour.
Exactly. Kadiatu should get married and fight for her own husband property.
Please just ask haja konneh to present the document of the house or land she is claiming.
And this woman was not even the first, second or third wife to the late man,the late man left more than sex children with different women which he also married them and later he lived them.
