The Edo State Police Command on Wednesday said it had begun a manhunt for a man, Timothy Gilbert, who bathed his girlfriend, Angela Ogah, 40, with acid in his state.

The command’s spokesperson, Moses Yamu, confirmed the incident and said the suspect committed the crime at Ihovbe quarters, in Ikpoba Hill and fled.

He said, “The command has commenced a manhunt for the arrest  of the suspect, and I am sure he will be brought to justice”
