The rival wife, identified as Justina Peter, has been on the run since the incident happened at Gindiri town in the Mangu Local Government Area of the state.
It was gathered that the women had never got along since Iklima joined the family as a second wife three years ago.
According to Daily Trust, the co-wives had a serious argument and their husband, Ate Peter Manomi, intervened.
The attack has left Iklima treating severe burns on her upper body and thrown their husband and their neighbourhood into distress.
Daily Trust gathered that the women were always in conflict since Iklima joined the household as Mr Manomi’s second wife three years back.
“I bent down to gather my washed clothes, I didn’t know my co-wife was coming towards me with a bad intention.
“I wasn’t expecting anything like that because we had been separated after fighting some minutes before.
“As I was straightening up, she poured hot water on me and I started screaming,” Iklima told Daily Trust Saturday.
