A 30-year-old woman identified as Mrs Bukola Olusegun has been arrested by the Police in Ekiti state for allegedly setting her husband, Abimbola Olusegun, on fire after a quarrel on February 14, 2015.
Olusegun, who is a commercial driver, was said to have left his house on valentine's day without his wife to have fun. When he returned home at about 6pm, he met his angry wife who had been accusing him of infidelity.
Neighbours said they first overheard the couple quarreling, before the husband ran out of the house with fire all over him.
One of the neighbours 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 PRO, Mr. Albert Adeyemi, who confirmed the incident, said Olusegun's wife had confessed to the crime. He however did not allow reporters speak with the suspect who is in their custody.
"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."
Adeyemi added that as soon as the investigations were complete, the case would be charged to court.
