According to eyewitnesses, Mr. Azeez was engaged in his daily reading of the Quran when he discovered the mysterious number.
Driven by suspicion, he dialed the number and a man answered the call.
Without verifying the circumstances, Mr. Azeez concluded that his wife was involved in an extramarital affair.
In a sudden burst of anger, he boiled a pot of palm oil and poured it over Mrs. Azeez while she was in the kitchen.
The victim suffered severe burns and was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital by neighbours who heard her screams.
Medical personnel at the hospital reported that Mrs. Azeez is in critical condition, receiving intensive treatment for her injuries.
Meanwhile, Mr. Azeez was swiftly apprehended by local authorities and has been charged with assault and attempted murder.
The community is in shock over the brutal attack.
Family and friends have expressed their disbelief, describing Mr. Azeez as a typically calm individual.
However, police investigations reveal that he had a history of jealousy and insecurity.
Local leaders and religious figures have condemned the act, urging for calm and reminding the community of the importance of trust and communication in resolving marital issues.
Mr. Azeez is set to appear in court next week, where he will face the full extent of the law.
The incident has sparked a broader conversation about domestic violence and the need for better mental health support and conflict resolution mechanisms within families.
