The
heart of man is indeed wicked! Naomi Oni (pictured above) was attacked by an
unknown person who poured acid on her beautiful face on December 20, 2012. The
attacker has been caught by the Police. And it turns out to be no other person
but her so called friend, Mary Konye.
Mary
covered herself up in an Islamic regalia, revealing only her eyes, and walked
behind Naomi Oni until she got the chance to pour the acid on her. Mary who had
been close friends with Naomi since high school reveals that she attacked her
because she was jealous of her good looks.

reading after the cut:
The
court heard Ms Oni left work at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford,
East London, at around 11.30pm with several colleagues. But she was oblivious
to the fact she was being closely followed by Konye wearing a full niqab, a
hooded black coat, gloves and a grey bag, jurors heard.
CCTV
showed the university student had 'lingered waiting to see the victim' at
Stratford and 'tailed' her home always making sure to keep a few steps behind
her, the court heard.
On
the phone to her boyfriend throughout the journey, she stopped off at takeaway
to pick up some food and got the 368 bus to her house.
Unaware
she was being followed, she got off the bus at Lodge Avenue, a few hundred
yards away from her house.
But
she suddenly became aware of a presence behind her and spun around to see
someone in a niqab who lobbed a glass of acid at her.
Gareth
Patterson, prosecuting, told jurors that Konye had threatened to attack Ms Oni
with acid on another occasion after the pair rowed.
Konye,
who was arrested on February 22 last year, denied carrying out the attack or
ever threatening to throw acid at Naomi.
Jurors
were told there is mobile phone evidence placing Konye on the same bus as Ms
Oni. Wearing her long hair down and a purple top and black cardigan, Konye, of
Canning Town, East London, sat in the dock passively and repeatedly stared at
the floor during the hearing. She denies throwing or casting a corrosive fluid
with intent to burn, maim, disfigure, disable or do grievous bodily harm.
Naomi
was so beautiful…. I just pray that justice will be served.
