The saying about a woman scorned should really be amended to include men as well; because we can also be as vindictive and petty as the most jealous woman.
And as much as these kinds of cases of jilted lovers bathing their former partners with acid goes, it is almost exclusively men carrying out such acts.
A woman in the Western Region is reliving the painful fruits of a man scorned, after her ex-lover Philip Oppong doused her with acid for leaving him.
37 year old Abena Konadu narrated her ordeal to Adom FM.
According to her, after leaving Oppong, he tried several tactics to get back in her life, but she foiled them all- because she was determined not to get back with him due to his quick temper.
Frustrated, he called on her clandestinely, and then poured the substance on her. According to Abena, his reason was that if he cannot have her, then nobody can.
He fled after that, whilst she sought help at a hospital. Oppong remains on the run, whilst police say they are waiting for an official complaint and identification of him to begin their manhunt.
