A 37-year-old man identified as Ziaulihak Zakari, also known as Abuja, has allegedly confessed to accepting ₦500,000 to carry out an acid att@ck on a woman in Lagos State.

The victim, Olorunseunfunmi Awosogbon, reportedly sustained severe injuries to her head, chest, and hands during the att@ck, which occurred on October 25, 2025, in the Lakowe area of the state.

According to reports, Awosogbon had gone to honour a home service appointment booked through the spa where she worked. The appointment was scheduled at Lakowe Golf Gate near Utmost Care Hospital, where the a$$ault allegedly took place. Investigators later discovered that she may not have been the intended target.

The victim’s employer, Olorunmaye Ifeoluwa, claimed the att@ck was allegedly tied to a dispute involving a former relationship between her and another suspect accused of organising the a$$ault. She said the relationship lasted only a few months and was marked by repeated disagreements before it ended.

Zakari and another suspect, Owolabi Daniel, have since been arraigned before a Magistrate Court in Ebute-Metta on charges including conspiracy, threats to life, and causing bodily harm.

In a video reportedly obtained by journalists, Zakari allegedly admitted that he was recruited for the att@ck through a security guard and later realised that the wrong person had been targeted.
