There was wailing at Iwebo lane behind Oba Market, Benin, Edo State, on Tuesday, after a man that inherited his late father’s house, Idemudia Obamwonyi, set the building ablaze over refusal of tenants in the building to pay. .

Over 20 shops in the building were razed. Idemudia was said to have been heard shouting telling people to allow the house burn since he does get any money from the house. .

Many of the shop owners have locked their jobs before the fire started. A shop owner who gave his name as, Justice Aigbekhan, said they have paid their rent but Idemudia kept asking for money claiming that he wants to perform his father’s burial.
