Iniubong Ime scarred for life in acid attack by ex-girlfriend * Says he forgives her

Iniubong Ime, who was left scarred for life in a horrific acid attack, says he forgives his ex-girlfriend for the brutal incident.

Iniubong Ime from Nigeria had decided to have an early night earlier this month – but was woken up by a sound outside his front door.

After going to investigate, he discovered the netting across his window had been ripped.

As he opened the front door, he was reportedly attack by his ex-girlfriend, Lucy Daniel, who doused him with acid.

The 24-year-old was left writhing in pain, covered in severe burns.

Despite the horrific attack, Iniubong said he forgives the 20-year-old and holds no bitterness towards her.

He said: ‘We dated for around a year and I discovered she is a troublesome person.

‘She was causing trouble between me and my mother, my siblings and my friends, she caused trouble between me and everyone close to me, and succeeded in driving people away from me.

‘So I decided to quit. She initially left but later started coming back, pleading that I should accommodate her, and that she wasn’t working and didn’t have anywhere to stay.

‘Rather than accommodate her, I got her a job and also rented an apartment for her.

‘She relaxed for a while then this year, she started coming around again.

‘She would come at ungodly hours, so I told her that I didn’t welcome such visits and whenever she came around I would send her back.

‘I went to bed early but was woken up by a sound outside my door at about midnight.

‘When I woke up I saw that my window net had been torn and I decided to find out who was at the door.

‘When I opened the door, I saw it was Lucy, and before I could say anything she splashed the acid on me and ran away.

‘I was in serious pain, and the burns on my body are severe.

‘The only thing I could do at that point was to rush to a bucket of water and pour it on myself with the hope that it would ease the pain.

‘I then began shouting for help and people started coming out, including my siblings who were in the next apartment. They brought me to the hospital.’
