They say love is sweet… but sometimes, love can be wicked. Is love truly wicked, as some people say? Sometimes, love turns into something dark… something deadly. This is the sad story of Lieutenant Samson Haruna, a young Nigerian Army officer who served his country with pride — but lost his life in a shocking and painful way… inside his own home. He wasn’t killed by enemies on the battlefield… He was set ablaze — by his wife. Lt. Samson Haruna was not just any soldier. He was a Medical Doctor in the Nigerian Army — serving as the Regimental Medical Officer at the 6 Battalion, Wellington Bassey Barracks, in Ibagwa, Abak Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

He was loved by his colleagues — known for his calmness, discipline, and dedication. And just six months ago, he got married.Everyone thought it was the start of a beautiful union. But behind the smiles and military uniform, something was breaking apart — quietly, painfully. It was the night of September 22, 2025. Inside their apartment at the barracks, an argument started between Lt. Haruna and his wife. Some reports say the fight began because his wife found messages on his phone — messages she believed came from another woman.

Voices were raised… tempers flared… and then, in one dark moment — she snapped. According to reports, Mrs. Haruna grabbed a can of petrol, poured it on her husband… and struck a match. The flames consumed him instantly. Neighbors rushed out. Some tried to help — shouting for water, sand, anything to stop the fire. Inside that barracks, chaos filled the air. Lt. Haruna was rushed to the Military Reference Section (MRS) inside the barracks. He was still alive — badly burned but conscious. Doctors and soldiers worked through the night, trying to save him. He was later taken to the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital for advanced care.

But the burns were too deep… His body couldn’t take it anymore. Lt. Samson Haruna died from his injuries. News of his death spread quickly — first within the barracks, then across the country. A young army doctor… gone, not in battle, but at home. His wife — the woman he loved — was arrested immediately by military police. She is now in custody, as investigations continue. Neighbors described her as a quiet woman, not known for violence. So everyone kept asking the same question: What went wrong? Some reports claim she acted out of jealousy — saying she believed her husband was being unfaithful.

Others say the couple had been having regular arguments since their marriage. But no one expected it would end like this — in fire and death. The Nigerian Army has not yet released a full official statement, but sources confirm that Lt. Haruna’s body has been taken for burial rites according to military tradition. Every year, stories like this remind us of one truth — Anger, when left unchecked, can destroy everything we love. A moment of rage can end a life, a marriage, a future. Now, two lives are gone — One to death… and one to prison. Lt. Samson Haruna served his country with honor. He deserved peace… but found tragedy at home.

May his soul rest in peace. And may this story remind everyone listening — When anger burns in your heart, walk away…
Because once you strike the match, there’s no going back. Thank you for listening to this report. If you want to hear more true stories like this — real crimes, real people — Subscribe, like, and share this video. Until next time… stay safe, stay calm, and never let anger win.

Devil is living in some human beings, in fact some humans are the devil. What a tragic romance story.

The Bible says in Proverbs 25:24 (KJV) It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.

When as a man you see her anger traits and you dismissed it as female shenanigans instead of a red flag. She's described as quiet, easy going....but he knew what he faced and she must have manifested prior to the marriage.

May God comfort his family and may he RIP.
Maryam Sanda don get sister. After the act, her body go don come down but with consequences.

We have a problem in our society of ignoring couples when they fight and only step in when something tragic has happened.

A police officer's manhood was cutoff yet he managed to die with the woman.

As a trained army officer, I'm still wondering what stops him from grabbing that skinny woman and die with her?

The military should investigate this matter very well, I'm suspecting that somehow someone actually help that lepa in executing the act.

Only my wife cannot physically kill me unless she drugged my food.

Do not ignore warning signals. I m sure that wasn't her first attempt on his life. Be brave to end that marriage if you sense danger and damn what people will say.

Truly you cannot truly say you are successful until you are married.
He survived years of deadly battles as a warlord in the army but couldn't survive 6 months of marital battles.

When elders say women are stronger some men will be arguing nonsense

Nothing to say!



But one of the world 🌎🌍 best psychoanalysts, Sigmund Freud summed everything about a woman.


He said,
in all his career,he never knew what a woman wanted.


Ya money long or not be careful of them as when they become deadly,they don't think twice.

Dem no go remember good wey you do over the past decades if dem wan hurt you.


Be careful young men!

I guess he underestimated the woman because how na. You waited for the woman to pour you Petrol, still wait for her to light the matches. How na? He should have ran out immediately she poured him the petrol and look for help than waiting for her to strike the matches. Save your life first then deal with her later.

Omo, no dey underrate anybody o. See that shinkini girl kill an whole soldier.

I think people getting married should do psych evaluation first...u fit marry dangerous kolomental without knowing 🥱

How was she able to pour petrol on him without him resisting?

Unless he was asleep or incapacitated, it’ll take a lot of energy for her to overpower him, pour petrol on him and light it up.

I wonder what could have triggered this sort of behaviour

That notwithstanding this woman is a very heartless person

Women are not stronger than men, women are weaker vessels.

But in his case na him do himself.

Marriage has nothing to offer any man out there, so anything you see in it, take it with good faith.

Which yeye warlord?

The guy was a junior officer in the army

The Mourning Bride, by William Congreve

This is so sad. I once date a girl. She loves me so much and I love her as well. But when I realized she gets angry too much (red flag) , I just decided to call it quick even after 5 to 7 years of being together. I no fit shout

Black Widow, all I will say is that there's nothing spiritual about marriage, it's pure earthly business. Religion itself has worsened it because of stopping men from polygamy. Men, y'all should start reading books on philosophy .

Tell your girlfriend about adding second wife and watch her disoriented 🤷🏿


Her mother should be investigated 📌💯👌

She should be hanged after investigation. This is murder, so she should go...

This story makes no sense to me, how do you stand some goes gets petrol throws it on you and lights a match?

Why dont you run away? Hug them for self preservation?

This is a lesson to all men, desist from marriage it adds nothing in your life except pain and suffering sometimes death, the young man is now dead because of marriage.

Women have nothing to offer you except pain and disaster desist from them.

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 us from evil.

See Satan wear white wedding dress

Does the wife has no name? I discovered her personal name was never mentioned in all the different stories related to this matter...

She looks like Delilah's relic.
It's in the eyes.
Take a look.
The guy was too happy with her.
Overloving.......
Marriage now takes the blame

Still can't wrap my fingers around this.

She carried petrol, poured on him.

Then dropped the can.

Then brought out a match or lighter or whatever.

Then struck it and threw at him..

While he stood there all the time like a sculpture watching her take all these steps??

You no lose guard for enemy side but you lose guard for woman side
Rip gallant man

When this man was signing his marriage certificate, I believed he would be smiling not knowing that he was signing his death warrant.

What a life!

What could have transpired that would make this woman do such a thing

Some people are just evil... I don't think she's sober even now

I don't think he is a gallant man, he is a weak man.
