The Ekiti Police Command has arrested a woman, Mrs. Bukola Olusegun, 30, who allegedly set fire on her husband, Abimbola Olusegun, 32, during a disagreement on February 14, Valentine day.

Trouble started for Olusegun, a commercial driver and an indigene of Ado Ekiti, who lives in Idolofin area of Ado Ekiti, when he left home on the said day to have fun, without his wife.

He returned home at about 6pm on Valentine’s Day to meet his angry wife, who had been accusing him of infidelity.

Neighbours said they first overheard the couple exchanging words before the husband later ran out of the house with fire all over him.

A neighbour told reporters that, “It was mid-night that the husband suddenly ran out from his apartment and cried for help, raising the alarm that his wife had set him ablaze. He was burning and was battling with the fire his wife had put on him.

“We had to rush out to rescue him by quickly getting water and pouring it on him. But for the prompt intervention of some of us, he would have been burnt to ashes. He was thereafter rushed to the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital where he is still being treated. We also reported the incident at Ado Central Divisional Police Station from where policemen promptly came to arrest his wife.”

The Ekiti State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Albert Adeyemi, who confirmed the incident, said Olusegun’s wife had confessed to the crime.

“According to the Divisional Crime Officer, Ado Central Divisional Police station, the woman set her husband ablaze because he didn’t celebrate the Valentine with her nor take her out for fun during the lovers’ day celebration, “ he said.

Adeyemi said the suspect would be charged to court as soon as investigations on the matterwas concluded.

The PPRO, however, declined the request to speak with the suspect who was still in Police custody as of time of filing the story.

Nawaoooo. Wives are not smiling these days.

walexGodson:
Na prison she go rotten

Dheartless:
what nonsense, why should she be arrested?,
don't they know she is a woman and so she is permitted to do so?



no woman will be my death
I refuse to be the victim of abuse
I accept to be the victor

cococandy:
you really think anyone will support the woman burning her husband?
Or you just like typing lame sarcasm?

You think we are like those guys that make excuses for violence in the name of being pushed to the wall
And all those other very xtupid excuses abusers use to justify their wickedness while some of you cheer them on.

If this woman felt he wasn't treating her right,she had the option to leave than recourse to violence.
What if he died?
Irrevocable bad solution to a temporary problem when she could have taken the less difficult way out.

Now prison calls. I hope she finds the romance she wanted from him in there.

Dheartless:

Mrs "I too know"
do you think violence starts big?
if a stupid woman starts smashing phones and using house equipment for weapon, she will soon use the match stick and kerosene, after all they are both home utilities.

lame sentiments every where!
violence is violence and it starts little, from words to slaps to burning as long as it is been giving a chance

cococandy:
So this man deserves to be burnt?

Since we are making excuses for those who beat up their husbands and wives now.
