Tragedy in Ondo as 75-year-old woman sets her son, daughter-law and two grandchildren ablaze

A 75-year-old woman, Iforiti Oloro, has allegedly set her son, daughter-law, and grandchildren abl@ze in Ondo State.

According to reports, the tragic incident occurred at Aponmu, a suburb of Akure, Ondo’s capital city, at the weekend.

It was gathered that the septuagenarian living in the same compound with her son, Victor Oloro, woke up in the middle of the night and allegedly set the house on f!re while the family was asleep.

A resident in the community, Bayo Adegboyega, who confirmed the incident, explained that the residents noticed the family’s house was on fire on Saturday, March 18, 2023.

“We noticed that the building was on fire around 2:00 a.m., and all the family members were at home. I had to join neighbours close to the building in putting off the fire by breaking the windows to gain entry,” he narrated.

"Sadly, by the time we entered, the man (Victor Oloro), his wife (Racheal), and two children ( Toluwani and Blessing) had been affected by the fire.”

He also mentioned that the burnt family members were taken to a state hospital in Akure but were rejected due to the degrees of burns suffered from the fire incident.


"So, we rushed them to the Federal Medical Centre in Owo, but unfortunately, we lost the last born on arrival while on Sunday night, the man and his wife died. Only the firstborn is alive but in a critical condition,” Mr Adegboyega added.

While describing the incident as “bizarre and shocking,” Mr Adegboyega said the residents later learned that the grandmother allegedly set the building on fire.

"It was yesterday (Monday) that we got to know that the old woman got some dry palm fronds and the little petrol her son kept in a gallon, spread it around the house, and set the house on fire. While confessing, the woman said she set the house on fire because her son and his wife were allegedly starving her of food.”

This is sad, but why would they starve a septuagenarian? Is it that they are broke or out of wickedness.... The story is hard to believe, my instinct is telling me the old woman might be suffering from mental illness, no mother would want to kill her son, daughter in-law and grandchildren just because of food...

Rip to the dead and quick recovery to the injured kid ...

Omoh things dey occur.

This woman may have been acting strangely because I am still confused on why she would burn down her son's family because they are starving her

Is it that they cook and don't give her yet they eat out of it

Or they have a cold war that lead to this barbaric act

Would burning them extend her life span or make her happy

That's a horrible revenge mission

This is so unbelievable

Depression!!!!

Hope this isn't PM news
