Following the attack, Cyril was arrested and charged before Ikpoba Okha Area Customary Court, Idogbo.
When the case came up for mentioning on Monday, Counsel to the accused, Fidelis Oriafo, pleaded with the Court to grant his client bail, but the Prosecutor, Inspector Victor Ehiorobo, objected to the bail on the grounds that the victim, was still in a critical condition at the UBTH.

He shd be killed without any trials! What is the big deal if a woman says she is not interested in a relationship again? Before he met the lady was he not in a relationship? Even if he wasnt, that was not enough reason to bathe a fellow human being with raw acid. If she were his younger sister, will he be happy to see her suffer such a high level of wickedness? This madness is getting too much in this nation and the earlier we tackle it decisively the better for all and sundry. I was jilted by a lady I dated for four good years; whose parents knew me and vice versa but when she declared her intention to go, I had to let her go, even though I suffered the pain for another one year without any relationship. Today, I’m happily married with lovely kids. If had taken one naughty step then, one would have live to regret it for life.

The guy must not go unpunished, he must take care of the girl in the hospital, take care of all her bills,cater for her needs and make sure she is always there with him since he does not want her to leave him, he must be there with her till she gets married. He is just a wicked soul who deserved to be dead.
