According to the story by Guardian, On March 23rd 2013, Cyril asked to speak with Blessing after she ended their relationship and thinking he wanted to talk reconciliation, she agreed to see him. He visited her house and as she went out to talk to him, he bathed her with acid.
Blessing is now blind in both eyes and battling to stay alive at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), Benin City where she is a patient.
Read Blessing's account of what happened after the cut...
“He was my boyfriend and we had arguments in February. He beat me to the extent that I was not able to go to school for three days. I told him I was no longer interested in the relationship. He later tried to forcibly take my telephone, but I refused to give it to him. I told him he was not the one who bought it for me.”
“On March 23, he called and asked me to meet him in front of our house. I refused initially, but he insisted, so I came out. He asked: “Do you mean you don’t want me again?” I said: “No! I was no more interested in the relationship. And immediately, he poured the acid on my face.
Since that day, I have been on admission at the UBTH and the doctors say I might not see again except I am flown to India where my eyes could be restored."
“I never knew he would have the heart to pour acid on me. I made a mistake. I have learnt the biggest lesson of my life. My prayer now is that God should touch kind-hearted Nigerians to come to my aide so that I would be able to get treatment abroad, since my parents cannot afford it.”
Doctors in the hospital believe she may never see again except she is flown to a specialist hospital in India, where her sight could be restored.
Cyril Okosun is in police custody in Benin

DeleteKai! Wat a wicked world
ReplyDeleteKai! Wat a wicked world
ReplyDeleteThis thing happened to a friend of mine fa...and funny enough the boy also tried seizing her fone the uni (abu) paid for the girls treatment abroad and till today the boy hasn't been found. Women should be careful the men they date cause I know it may not be written on the persons face but always be watchful of people with a bad temper
DeleteHow sad!! People just hide behind the facade of love, professing affections just to get what they want(sex,money), you can't love a woman and do this to her, if you really love her you would let her go, just like the saying... "If you love someone, set them free like a bird, if they come back, they are yours, if they don't come back they were never yours in the first place"
ReplyDelete@Prince you hit d nail on d head so well. Well said my dear
DeleteBest comment I read here
DeleteSo true,now he has just messed up her life and his.what has he achieved now?girls have got to be careful cos there are sick people every where.
DeleteThat's so right PC,I agree!!
DeleteAs pathetic as this is,the open-ended question is'Would this man be made to pay for this heinous crime?'why are women and children most often the victims of domestic violence and intimate partner violence?why isnt the Nigerian Government taking this issue seriously?until someting drastic is done about this and measures put in place to serve as a deterent for future offenders,am afraid this trend would continue. STOP VIOLENCE AGAISNT WOMEN PLS!!!!
ReplyDeleteCause the system does NOT work or the women in violent/toxic relationships would rather cover up for their abusive and violent partners! They say african women should endure..we women need to start looking out for ourselves rather than be our own enemies. Such evil
DeleteTRUST NO ONE. God will give u help
ReplyDeleteOh Lord, what kind of world are we living in? Relationships come and go, pls can someone carefully explain that to men? There is something called heartbreak, they should learn to live with it instead of destryoing this young girls? Lord help us
ReplyDeletewonders shall never end. 1st to comment
ReplyDeleteWonders shall never end.
ReplyDeleteI think acid should be banned in Nigeria. Don't understand why Nigerians would wake up one morning and bathe another human with acid. FFS she aint a lab-rat. More proof that some Nigerians are the devil in disguise.
ReplyDeleteThank you PJ...well said.
DeleteI think you got it right this time..
DeleteYou can just imgine.
Dis boy is jst a pervate! Wickedness in the hightest ordet. Evil generation we dwell in

DeleteHmmmm. When you tell them not to date touts they won't listen...... Eeya Sorry...
ReplyDeleteWhat makes u think he is a tout? Or u think acclaimed touts r d only ones who r babaric? Most of these suit n tie guys r very violent n babaric.
DeleteThis story is incomplete. What happened to the maniac that poured her acid?He needs to be have his testicles removed or crushed. Idiot who can't accept rejection. Hope he is rotting away in our dirty jail.
ReplyDeleteCo signed. He should hv his testicles burned as well.
DeleteLike how much are we talking about here?
ReplyDeleteGud question. Reasonable comment so far..for christ sake dis lady needs help..abuses ll nt help ..period
Deletehope the boy was arrested... and serves up to 70 years incarceration
ReplyDeleteAnd where is the animal that did that? Until we start paying evil for evil, people will not change their behaviour. I am not in support of jailing the animal that did that to the lady, acid should be poured on his face too, let him feel the pain the lady has gone through.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity for the lady!
omo na wa o. what sort of lunatic person is this. haba!!!!!
ReplyDeleteamazing stuff on my style blog when u click
Vry sad & touching story may God hlp her regain her sight

ReplyDeleteplease ladies when you end relationship with animals dont say it out not even to their face just withdraw yourself and the relationship will die and he will hurt himself for losing you instead of hurting you FOR HE IS AN ANIMAL THAT CANNOT TAKE REJECTION
ReplyDeletepeple ar wicked
ReplyDeleteWHERE DO THESE PLE EVEN FIND D ACID...SERIOUSLY!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's quite sad and unfortunate. I can't get over d fact dat it is only women dat are acid victims. Have u ever heard of any man dat has been bath by acid. Such things are more common in this part of d world. Some men are devil incarnate and suffer from a serious complex. It's a case of if I can't have her, no one else can. Do u know how many women are been dumped on daily basis. How come they don't bath d men with acid. May God protect us from these wolves in sheep,s clothings.
ReplyDeleteJesus! same plot like the other girl that eventually died.
ReplyDeleteOh no!

ReplyDeleteWickedness is so rampant in 9ja now that I'm beginning to believe the devil is a Nigerian!What is this now?He nearly beat her to death & expects her to remain with him?This man needs to be shot in his stomach with his intestines spilling out of his body!*angry face*
ReplyDeleteMy dear i feel 4u.but now dis has happened he must marry n kai 4 u.dont let him Walk o.dat guy is a devil.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!!... I just hate blacks they really need to be treated like a poo, heartless Negros. That guy needs GOD forgiveness cos man won't ..he's a Freak. And will surely receive the wrath of GOD
ReplyDeleteWhen u end things with smbody why go back to his place?on what ground?to reconcile things or to talk him into accepting he has been dumped?She shuldnt ve gone to his place for whteva reason.And ladies when a guy starts hitting you plz end d rlship nothing gud comes out from it,even if na slap-walk away you deserve better.
ReplyDeletejst saw a video on cnn about a lady in india also bathed with acid, she has undergone more than 14 re constructive surgeries bt she still cant see at all. i totally agree with prince jobless, acid shld be banned in nigeria. #IFE
ReplyDeleteMay God have mercy on us.
ReplyDeleteladies beware wo u date. As soon as u notice d guy is too possessive, pls take to ur heels before it evn gets to d level of beatin. Pls pls, love urself first before anoda person.
ReplyDeleteMost Acid violence in America is done by black men,acid violence in Uk is done by blackmen, in Nigeria thesame thing. What is wrong with black men?

Why do Nigerians only use knows how to use substance for bad things only? God heart of men are full of wicked.... The guy should be made to face the law.

ReplyDeletedis iS WICKDNESS
ReplyDeleteThis is wickedness,my advise to ladies is that when u r in a relationship dont take much from a guy i mean money and all stuffs bcos some ladies see it as opportunity whereas they dont have any feelings for the guy,if u breakup with sure guy he can turn back @ u and use acid etc on you.stay wise
ReplyDeleteChaii sorry dear,may God heal u... as 4 d dude, dey shud jst pour a gud amount of a more conc acid on his face, dick and hands jst incase he recovers n decides 2 pour on some1 else ( ˘˘̯).#jstsaying
ReplyDeleteI am so lost for words. The relationship may not have bn more than two yrs or so but she has bn permanaently scarred for life. Gosh! The pain she must be going through now. God help her. Mothers, pls, pls, raise ur boys to know that a woman is a fellow human being and deserves to be treated with respect. IAI
ReplyDeleteMay he die in jail
ReplyDeleteCUNT..... that's all I can call the man who did this..... justice for this poor girl I don't know (seriously the boy's family even after he has been put away must be held accountable in some way for hospital bills and after care). If the police can go into a house and hold a member of someone's family pending when the suspect is found then the family of this cunt should be to an extent should be held accountable even when he is put away. The laws on acid buying/ acquiring need to be addressed like seriously.
ReplyDeleteMay he die in jail
ReplyDeleteSome yeye boyfriends smh for some pple. People should help her to regain her sight.
ReplyDelete@prince Jobless,if accid is baned in 9ja that simply means we won't drive our cars again, cos this idiots extract accid from car batteries.And for the heartless acid Baiter he should be burnt on his right leg with to a 3rd degree nd be blinded on his left eye.this is my judgement... Yebbo
ReplyDeleteSo sorry 4 the poor gal!
ReplyDeletejesus christ i fear all ds guys o ahnan
ReplyDeleteI have never commented on this blog but this acid bath thing everyday just got me thinking. why this horrible and wicked act? The guy was never in Love because Love can't be HATE...............we all need to be careful and watch out for potential violent partner hiding behide the facade of love.

ReplyDeleteSm1 loved me.
ReplyDeleteHated mi coz he felt I dint love him back.
I did, very much,but he had so much I culdnt handle.
Now hez serious with sm1 else but still wants to keep tabs on what m doin, my whereabouts n' stuff.
I stopped telling him.
Because my instincts tells me dat he aint done with me yet.
Well... Ild give him the MADEA comeback.
Ladies, let's try n' b observant who we date or make friends with.
Let's also learn self-defence.
U will definitely need it someday.
A man filled with rage can eida go take some air... Or beat you to a pulp
The funny thing is dat... Most pple will support him.
If he goes to jail, prob 4 a short wile.
1. Learn to kick some ass
2. Refer to Rule 1, datz all dere is.

ReplyDeleteIts very unfortunate but l was just telling my sis-in-law d other day dat wat such pepetrators deserve is not jail but 2 be bathed in acid 2
ReplyDeleteThese guys bathing women with acid deserve to live. But first remove his penis and testicles and give them to chop and down it his throat. Gorge out his eyes and tongue and let him chew them raw as well; cut his nose off and give it to him to chop; then wash his head in boiling hot water for ten minutes; i forgot to mention that his hands or legs could be amputated to finish off the make-over
ReplyDeleteNne it's well with you! Ladies pls be careful with the type of guys you mingle with.
ReplyDeleteAt anon 5.50-you and every member of your family is a bastard, maybe your father poured acid on your mother and used to rape your sister's so you think there is a justification to pour acid on any woman. Don't worry you will marry the kind of woman that can pour acid on you or bite your dirty, tiny dick off! Ekewensu!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery Angry Woman
Lord have mercy some guys re wicked if dis lady were my sister hmmmmm dis guy will pay wit his own life by drinking d acid himself as a coffee gosh nawaaa but atleast dis will teach some lady's a lesson on d type of guys dey re dating especially dos dating cultist in d university!
ReplyDeleteGod.. such barbaric act... Why would someone do this. Blood of Jesus...
