"My friend who did this sat and cried beside me""-Acid attack victim Naomi Oni opens up

31 year old Nigerian Naomi Oni who was disfigured during an acid attack by friend Mary Konye(who has been found guilty and awaits her sentence) finally opened up on what it felt like hearing the police say she intentionally poured acid on herself so she could undergo plastic surgery
Speaking on This Morning today she said:
'I was told there was no way of finding who this person was and after being questioned by the police and realising they were looking at me, trying to say that I done it to myself, I thought this is not going to happen.
Knowing that someone had burnt your face, literally burnt you alive, that is horrific and to look at yourself in the papers and see something else.
'Then to be told that you've done this to yourself - I had no clue what was going to happen to me.That should not have happened to me and I should not have been accused.
'It was horrific. I was in hospital getting my eyelids repaired when I heard what had happened.'
'I felt like I was left alone.I felt like authorities and support teams that I should have been getting didn't want to help in terms of my housing and I felt like someone has randomly attacked me, destroyed my life, taken my face, and now my whole life was being taken away from me. I don't feel like a normal young girl.I felt like "this has happened to you, deal with it" - it does make you feel suicidal.
