20-Year Old Nigerian Girl Attacked With Acid in London

A Nigerian girl, Naomi Oni was scarred for life when a mysterious figure wearing a muslim niqab threw acid in her face as she walked home from work. She has no idea who did this to her and has spent the past month having skin grafts and almost went blind, although she has now recovered her vision in her left eye and has partial sight in her right.

To make matters worse, she is the sole carer for her disabled mother Marian Yalekhue who is 52. She told her story; 

    ‘I’d been working a late shift and was talking to my boyfriend about what we were going to do for New Year when I saw this Muslim woman wearing a niqab covering her face,’ she told the Evening Standard.

    ‘I thought it was a bit strange at that time of night, but she didn’t say anything and I kept on walking.

    ‘Then I felt a splash on my face. It burned and I screamed out. I started running and screaming, holding my face, all the way home. I didn’t look back.
