Army officer dies after being set ablaze by wife in Akwa Ibom

A Nigerian Army officer, Lt. Samson Haruna, has died after sustaining severe burns when his wife allegedly set him ablaze during a domestic dispute at Wellington Bassey Barracks, Ibagwa, Abak Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom.

Zagazola Makama learnt that the tragic incident occurred on Sept. 22, 2025.

The source said the officer, who was also a medical doctor attached to the 6 Battalion Regimental Medical Officer (RMO), had a heated argument with his wife, Mrs. Samson Haruna, which resulted in her dousing him with petrol (PMS) and setting him on fire.

“The officer sustained severe burns and was immediately stabilised at the Military Reference Section (MRS) in the barracks before being evacuated to the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital for further management,” the source said.

The officer, however, succumbed to his injuries despite efforts by medical personnel to save his life.

It was further gathered that the suspect has been arrested and is currently in custody while an investigation into the incident is ongoing. http://zagazola.org reports

Men too suffer domestic violence from the hands of women

Is there any day someone will wakeup, pick his/her device and not read ear disturbing news? What a world. If your tired of the marriage pls leave and let the other person live.

There is a saying that "the way sex is sweet, that's not how quarrel is sweet " in marriage or relationship both parties must learn to balance this two swords.

All in the name of "he cannot do anything to his wife as a military person"

Just like that his own chapter is closed by the woman that he married with his hard earned money .

In this life, no let anybody kill you o

If woman fit set a whole soldier ablaze, then, please feel free to tell me who am I wey be full bloody civilian that shouldn't be scared of the same gender?

Women have been the downfall of many men. Socrates was tortured by his wife, Delilah finished Samson and so on.
A bad wife is deadlier than an incurable disease.

Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section

A wife from Hell! This officer survived the war theater, but was defeated by a woman in his own Home turf - His wife!

May God deliver the menfolk.

There's only one place where there's absolute peace. That place is the graveyard.

To the news now, for his wife for set him ablaze, that soldier must have been ruthless.

I just knew he couldnt be an RC officer , because who born any woman well to set regular officer ablaze , he got done set your generation ablaze before you can set him ablze

Office of men affairs need to be established in this country, so they can be prosecuting this kind of women on domestic violence! We only have office of women affairs why! Men are going through a lot in the hands of women in the name of marriage!

Now Dools who should be in mental Medical Institutions will start saying nasty evil things about women... Disgusting!
It has happened it had happened.
Women are still at the receiving end the most. They suffer the most 97% of the times.

It was most likely the man's fault.
I'm 100 percent sure

Which Socrates please? I want to learn.
I read about his death in the book, Symposium the dead of Socrates, writing by Plato.

Marriage is too ooooo scary

Plato's teacher.

So true, men need to open their eyes .

Men, learn to have a mach.ete/ax.e in your room and parlour. To christians, marriage is a earthly business, there's nothing spiritual in it. See things the way they are and treat accordingly.
My father was also a victim

Guy, you too Sabi. I just finished reading a book titled '' Elementary Philosophical and Scientific Ideas'' . It was written in 1975, it was a eyeopener for me and I will be looking for bigger philosophical books.

you are mentally unbalanced to even say this. So should an argument result in his death?

It is surprising that this news is presently attracting no outrage from people,if it was a man that did this to a woman,I know the internet would have caught fire by now.
