A nurse at the Tamale Teaching Hospital Emergency Burns Unit Red Zone, Zeinab Muhammad Ali, has allegedly poured boiling water on her husband over his refusal to allow her to drive his car.
The suspect, who is a mother of two, poured the hot water on the husband shortly after the disagreement over the vehicle, resulting in the husband sustaining severe burn injuries.
The victim is currently on admission at the Tamale Teaching Hospital, while the suspect is said to be on the run.
The uncle of the victim, Nuru Rahaman Iddrisu, who confirmed the incident, said the family is demanding justice and severe punishment.
“We are demanding that, as far as work ethics is concerned, she be removed from her post because she is a danger to patients at the facility,” he added.
