Retired Soldier Sets Self On Fire In Agege Lagos by olokfor: 8:31pm On Aug 27, 2015
A retired soldier, who is fondly called “Baba Soldier” by his neighbours, at No. 13 Abeokuta Street, near Agege Stadium, Agege, Lagos, on 25th August 25, set himself ablaze.

Daily Times gathered that tragedy took place in the man’s about 4.00 p.m., when a co-tenant noticed a fire burning in his room. A girl who saw Baba Soldier said, he drank kerosene and used the rest to wet his body before setting himself ablaze.

Daily Times can authoritatively report that the remain of his body is still in his room as at the press time.

His co-tenant, an olderly woman, who refuse to give her name, said he intentionally killed himself because of frustration. An Okada man, who spoke with Daily Times said, he always beg them for money to eat.

What a myopic, and frankly quite disgusting comment.

A man who is broke and has no means no means to cope with the hardship that is living in Nigeria, would find suicide a tempting option. This is commonsense and has nothing to do with devils or evil spirits. Did Jesus die that Nigerian Christians will not have brain?

The ignorance that peddles itself as religiosity on these boards can be really disheartening. Little wonder our streets are full of ungodliness despite the increase in so called houses of God.

GEJ's administration did nothing to improve the welfare of serving and retired military personnel. And the fallout of that negligence? This right here.

It's haunting; not hunting. Well, I'm not surprised, you type like a hunter anyway. Smh
