    ACID FOR LOVE… OR ACID FOR REVENGE? That is the chilling question at the centre of a calculated campaign of terror that left 25-year-old Claire Ochieng fighting for her life in hospital, her face, chest, and arms scorched by concentrated sulphuric acid. Elvis opiyo, who is reportedly a NIS officer, is accused of orchestrating a series of acid attacks and violent assaults after Claire ended their relationship. Tonight, we return to February 17th, the day her life was violently rewritten. But for Claire, the ordeal did not end there. She says justice has been painfully slow, while those she believes are responsible remain free. Our investigation has uncovered alleged money trails, death threats, links to the Mathare underworld, and a hired hit squad. In an exclusive interview, Claire opens up to Citizen TV's Ode Francis about her ordeal and why she believes she was a target.
