20 Year Old Nigerian Girl Bath With Acid On her Way From Work


I was really reluctant to post this story the first time i got hold of it, as a matter of fact am still in shock. This is Naomi Oni, a Nigerian residing in UK, after a hard day of work, this sweet and beautiful lady who is infact the sole carer for her disabled mother Marian Yalekhue who is 52 was walking down home from her work place when an unknown woman bath her face with acid. Below is her recount of the unfortunate incident

I’d been working a late shift and was talking to my boyfriend about what we were going to do for New Year when I saw this Muslim woman wearing a niqab covering her face,’ 
‘I thought it was a bit strange at that time of night, but she didn’t say anything and I kept on walking.
‘Then I felt a splash on my face. It burned and I screamed out. I started running and screaming, holding my face, all the way home. I didn’t look back.
‘I got home and I was screaming and banging on the door. I was hysterical. Luckily my godmother, who is a pharmacist, was at home with my mum and she helped me and kept dipping my face in water and trying to calm me down until the police and ambulance got there.
‘I was in shock. Saying: “Who would do that? Who would do that?” How could anyone do this?’.
I look in the mirror and it just isn’t me. I’ll never look the same again,’ she said. ‘I’ve always been outgoing and confident in my job and in my personal life, used to getting attention for the way I dress or my hair, but now I don’t want anyone looking at me. ‘I don’t want people to see me in public. I don’t want to get the Tube or the bus. If I have to go to the hospital I take a taxi.
‘I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go back to my job. I was planning to go to college in September to study media and fashion, but I don’t even know if I’ll be able to do that.’



For some months now, she's been having skin graft which she was told could  still last for some months or years while also and will be undergoing further surgery, even with all of this she still will be left with facial scarring. How pathetic....
