A 27-year-old pregnant woman suffered burns to 45 per cent of her body after she set herself aflame over her husband’s alleged extra-marital affair.
Cythia Njoki sustained injuries in her hands, abdomen, thighs and face after attempting to commits suicide in her house at Langalanga estate using Kerosene after her husband failed to explain where he spent the Saturday night, August 14.
Ms Njoki said her husband, a mechanic, failed to return home that night and when he came on Sunday evening, he kept on calling a woman she suspected was having an affair with him. In anger, she went into their bedroom, poured kerosene on her body and set herself alight.
“I had an issue with my husband after he failed to report home and on coming, he continued to call a woman he was having a relationship with. I was angry and burnt myself,” said Njoki who was in deep pain at Rift Valley Provincial Hospital.
Nursing officer in charge of the ward, Jenipher Mathenge said the patient was received on Sunday night at around 8pm in a critical condition.
“The patient was received in a very critical condition, with her hands, face, abdomen and thighs burnt. Her fingers are also totally burnt,” Mathenge said.
She said the Ms Njoki, who is six months pregnant also has breathing problems after she inhaled hot air.
They are investigating the status of the unborn baby after they noticed the foetus had irregular heart beat.
“The patient is pregnant and we are conducting further investigations to know the status of the unborn child,” she said.
The patient’s mother Mary Wangui said she rushed to the hospital immediately after she was informed about the incident but could not communicate with Njoki because she had breathing difficulties.
Ms Wangui said prior to the incident, Njoki had shared with her the problems she was going through due to the alleged promiscuity. She asked the husband what happened but he did not give a clear explanation, claiming to have received a phone call from a woman whom Njoki suspected was his lover.
Hahahaha yes boss please i go keep quiet… i no wan spoil your market
Only someone that has been suicidal before… Educated people will relate….
Wenty Alfah Oh You Spoil Am already, if I enter GHANA me and Efo Go Spoil market too
She shouldn’t have set her self on fire, she would have live revenge for God.
This is crazy……….., you do this to yourself because a man. Na wa oooo
Hahahaaaa fool, who is receiving the pain’s now??? U or d man? May God protect that unborn child of urs….
She is foolish
Stupidity at its higher level….
what kid of woman is this, still u dont need to set yourself on fire. is not worth it. go for another man. NO BI SO MY SISTER. G W SOON
Stupidity at it’s finest.
For this Nigeria? The man in question is so where enjoying him self while you’re in the hospital dying. Ha no man is worth dying for ooo
She is not a serious woman
men men men and always men….what can i say…when a man will only love his girlfriend or wife untill the end of his life?when?when chicken will have teeth?
A big fool
May God have mercy upon woman with husband eeeee.so she don’t know that her husband with that woman will celebrate life together if she dies.nawaooo may God help us amen
Chai sorry Oo
She only waste her time and risk her life for nothing her action can not stop the man from what he is doing
She is sick she wanted to kill herself for a stupid husband
You have a point there
all those scares where will; you take them your man wiol
It’s easy for her to set her self at fire than looking her husband with another women…some Christian has a jealous and envy in they heart that’s why they not married more than one women
So hell is her next home?are you kidding me you are coursing and giving advice at the same time just stop the insults and give her advice if you have one. What she did was not the best option yes but you have no right whatsoever to call her names. So you think leaving your husband or boyfriend because he was misbehaving was the best option (No) so don’t come here and be calling another fellow woman idiot because we all have our witnesses and depression is common with pregnant women ✌✌peace
Perfect example of why I’ll never marry
We are better of single till death
allow her to die if death will solve her problem
Go and set than that woman

Yesoooo becus love dont exist again all men are dogs
Meanwhile she is in pain with that unborn child.. And the man is going about his business to keep doing what he is doing.. Women stop doing these foolishness over a man its not worth it.. Sometimes some of these men tell these women that they are nothing without them, or that no man would want them if they leave, these men abuse these women to the point where they believe what these idiots say and end up hurting themselves and others..in this case this unborn child.. You can do good all by yourselves ladies..
She could have waited to give birth then set herself on fire now she risked the life of a child..only because her man slept dot another woman
What do u mean by Nigerian women?
This woman mess up big time she should have set the man on fire instead of hurting herself with that innocent babe U0001f622

Hahahaha, the woman’s brain has virus and needs to be formatted. Fellow women plz help me and tell her that no man deserves it. Even in her condition now, her husband will look for a lady that is not disfigured, she should get ready to hang herself. Ewu!
Ma’am Usla kidy Amandoh good evening and how are u? Well u have said what your brain can produce sorry if i have offended you and please don’t cry so much about this cause if she was my own sister I will tell her more than this okay. And if she is relate to you well I will still say it she is a dam fool. If u commit suicide u are going to hail full stop.. thanks to God we are here today as of 2005 I should be in my grave and u won’t be able to know me now. That I left my husband was the best thing for me and my baby. Misbehaving is not only that he was sleeping with women, there are a lot behind it.. and I thank God he knows I never did wrong to him. So u are free to say what ever u want I don’t care. I will tell my own sister or brother more than what I have side to this lady. She is a big fool to set herself on fire. Thanks to God she is alive and if she has died at the process of doing this to herself, hail is her next home. people will cry,eat , drink , sing , dance and pray on that day she will be put to rest and what next? every one leaves and move on with there lives and businesses. And husband will still move on with his life after a while. Tell me who is losing, man or woman? Please read before u strat throwing words oooo nne. Well done ooo and good night

Mumu na dey worry you,stay hospital there make him dey with that same woman,if u no pity urself at least pity the one in ur womb.
She is stupid and ungrateful on how God created her
Was she stupid or mental, loving a man more than her unborn child and herself. I vote for insanity! Silly woman.

Heartless woman you couldn’t even think about your unborn child and your other children. Because of a man you want to kill yourself. Nonsense

I can see bitterness here…

Ladies take it easy… The only person who knows where his/her spouse is….. Is the one whose spouse is in the grave….
You are so on your own o. That is practical nonsense.
she want to die because of man,man of all things even some of them cannot make heaven or die well cos out of 100% only 5% is okay
She has given the woman her husband slept with to gain fully the owner ship of the universe husband U0001f62fU0001f609
Kmt! Stupid woman! You want a beating on top of your burns!
She’s more wicked then Buhari, so she wants to kill an innocent baby inside of her because of her husband’s infidelity? She’s cruel and should be charged for an attempted murder
Just we have to learn that man is doing that, all over the world in milion years nathing will stop them – unfortunately ewen he loves You so why girls start to do the same – fortunately U0001f60a
Me no love that da man no born yet go duck them mother a 12 years me a sleep by me self she foolish man go and man come
She should hve drunk poison instead.. that would have been much easier
Men are cool, honest and caring. This could be as a result of misinformation. However, please don’t judge her since you not in her shoe. Once love and trust are involved, humans sometimes can act irrational. Get well soon dearie.
No man is worth dying for. You’re in pain while the man is moving freely!
Crase wey dey worry you first enter auto reverse, before he press record, play and fast forward at the same time. Certified Idiot.
Low capacity now who iz much pain da hubby or her women we should stop our stupidity and kwn every man on earth has to cheat

Who will bear the scars for ever? Your husband or his mistress?
Self fish woman, even if you didn’t care about you, think about the baby.
