A relaible source close to the family and privy to the matter, stated that Nwani, who is a plumber had accused his mother of being responsible for his misfortunes in life.
A devout Christian of Baptist denomination, the plumber was said to have been facing some challenges in life in recent times which he attributed to his mother.
The source added that the acid victim was immediately rushed to an undisclosed medical facility for treatment where she was said to be responding to treatment.
