Finally,British Police Arrests 1st suspects in Nigerian Lady Acid Attack

Police have arrested two people after a Victoria’s Secret worker was left with horrific burns when acid was thrown in her face

A 21-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man were held on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm to Naomi Oni, 20, who was attacked in Dagenham, Essex, on December 30.

Naomi spent a month in a burns unit and has been left partially blinded from what she claimed was an unprovoked assault by a woman wearing an Islamic niqab.

The part-time model said she feared an unknown enemy was ‘out to kill her’ and wanted to die when she first saw the way her face had been disfigured.

To add insult to injury, reports over the weekend claimed police were looking into the possibility that she may even have deliberately disfigured herself.

Speaking today she said she was ‘hurt and angry’ that she was being accused of attacking herself.
