Another day, another bizarre story. Y'all remember the Nigerian girl that was left disfigured after acid was thrown in her face as she walked home on Sunday December 30th 2012? Well, now the UK police are suggesting Naomi Oni may have thrown the burning liquid on herself. But for what purpose? Below is how the UK Daily Mail is reporting it...
Police are believed to have seized a computer belonging to a young woman who was badly scarred in an acid attack amid suspicions that she may have caused the injuries herself. But her family fear that detectives are not doing enough to catch the perpetrator of the attack and are focusing on a 'crazy' line of inquiry.
Naomi Oni, 20, was left with horrific injuries following the incident which happened as she left work at the end of last year and was in hospital for nearly a month receiving treatment.
Police are understood to have taken Miss Oni's laptop and are said to have discovered that she had searched the internet for websites about acid attacks before she received her injuries.
Searches are said to include material on Katie Piper, the former model who has campaigned for facial disfigurement victims since she was scarred in an acid attack in 2008, according to the Sunday Times.

Officers are said to have asked Miss Oni's relatives whether she may have inflicted the injuries on herself but her boyfriend Ato Owede, 23, has dismissed that line of inquiry as 'crazy'.

He told the Sunday Times: 'They (the police) need to keep investigating.
'They're concentrating on the wrong things at the moment in terms of (her) researching acid attacks and stuff like that. 'They are just coming to a silly conclusion.'

Naomi suffered horrific burns to her face, leg, arm and head and was left partially blind after a person dressed in a niqab threw acid over her as she returned to her home in Dagenham following a shift a the Victoria's Secret store in the Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford.

She also lost her hair and eyelashes in the incident and has undergone several operations since.

Doctors had initially feared that she would be permanently blinded, but following intensive treatment at a specialist burns unit she recovered sight in her left eye and partial sight in her right eye.

Miss Oni made an emotional appearance on ITV's This Morning.
It is understood that police sought to retrieve her laptop from her home on January 28, but were unable to find it. It was handed over to officers by Miss Oni's disabled mother Marian Yalekhue.

She is believed to have told detectives that she had searched websites relating to acid attacks but has dismissed that she injured herself.

A family friend, Sheila Maclean, described it as 'innocuous' that Miss Oni may have watched a Channel 4 documentary on Miss Piper on her computer.

She said that her interest in Miss Piper was fuelled by an interest in make up.
Miss Oni's case has attracted much sympathy and top American cosmetic surgeon Cap Lesesne has offered to operate on her injuries for free.

She is said to be due to meet Miss Piper soon.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said that officers are 'continuing to look at a number of articles of evidence'. No arrests have yet been made in the case.

wow,if the allegations are true then I am speechless

It might be a coincidence, as I see no reason why she would want to inflict such horrific, disfiguring, life-changing injuries on herself.

huh

Wah does detectives are insinuatin aint making sense @ all......... This is so Pathetic .....

Who has not heard about the Katie Piper story? I also did a little digging into acid attacks cos one story led to another. So, if i have (God forbid), an acid attack then it means i did it to myself?

Abeg, less drama more investigations.

What utter rubbish... Why would a young beautiful girl want to pour acid on herself? What a baseless allegation by the british police.

But if it was the opposite case and the victim was oyinbo i'm sure they would have fished out the perpetrator by now even if she had acid in her house...

If i was the girl i would sue for slander and defamation of character.. Idiots!!

*sigh*

what will she gain by distroying herself?

stupid,crazy,illogical British detective.
how the hell will she pour acid on herself to gain what?
from a beautiful damsel to a facially disfigure person. Is that logical? this policemen or detective are smoking meth.

So if I searched series of shoot out in US and someone got shot in my neighborhood the next day, then I'm automatically the shooter?! dey worry those detectives.

You don't have to be daft to be a policeman but it sure helps.

What a dumb suspicion!

when it comes police work inthe western world, they do not eliminate any theories or factors and this they do based on previous experiences. Take for example, there was a mother in the US a few years AgO that drowned her own 2 young children because her new boyfriend didn't like kids. She Locked them in the car and watched as the car rolled into the water submerged then she lied that a black man robbed her and drowned the kids until she confessed.My point is that you don't eliminate anybody .don't even be surprised if it was the boyfriend though I still believe that she didn't do it but I have witnessed some bizarre things in my lift.

a psychiatric check up is necessary then



the only reason she will do that 2 herself is if she suffera from a mental disorder.

maybe pistorius' galfren shot herself. just maybe. wen wite pple r making no progress wit investigations,they bring tales by moonlite. abeg mek una no vex,but una worri.

Nothing is impossible

Poor gal she's lucky. May God help her.

Joke of the century. Those detectives has gone nuts.

shebi na black girl, why would dey waste dia precious time investigating?

Naija police wunt even conclude like ds.

Ds oyibo police are racists abeg.

.

You think police will come out with this if they are not sure?

Long and short of it, she must have been giving the police conflicting statements / stories that don't add up.

In obodo oyibo, where everybody is crazy for their 15 minutes of fame, just about anything can happen

quite true. You only have to watch Crime Network or Zone Reality to see that some of the most heinous of crimes have been committed by the most unlikely of suspects - including self inflicted. And lets face it those searches on her laptop is enough to arose suspicion.

Call it inhuman, crazy, but the police are just doing their job.

These post has been hiding

SAME REASON WHY SOME PEOPLE COMMIT SUICIDE

I do not believe this idea of pouring the acid on herself. But they can know the fact by looking at the angle from which the acid was poured.
But what if a friend of hers have been using her laptop to browse for this things. Trust no one Ooº°˚ ˚°ºoo

This is crazy but its possible. I just remember the story of a woman who set herself on fire to claim some insurance money or some thing I can't remember details.

Let's just wait and see how events unfold...

What a bizzare sight!

Why would she pour acid on herself,her beautiful self? What did she stand to gain?
But then why would she also research on acid attack victims BEFORE been attacked?
Over to you Naomi.
