Bizarre!!! Man Flees After Setting His Wife On Fire Over Refusal To Serve Him Breakfast
Men of the Nigerian Police Force are on the trail of a man identified as Hassan Azeez, aka Saudi, for setting his wife on fire in the early hours of Friday morning.
The bizarre incident occurred in Ibogun Olaogun, of Abeokuta, the hometown of a former president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo.
Hassan was said to have accused his wife, Olayinka of delaying his breakfast in the early hours of the morning, despite the fact that the wife told him that she would serve him food after she was done with her morning chores.
This arrangement and explanation did not sit well with the accused, who was said to have gotten into a heated squabble with his wife during which he allegedly poured petrol on her and set her ablaze, causing pandemonium in the community as Hassan allegedly warned residents against any attempt to intervene in the matter.
According to a source, “A male passer-by, who was touched by the woman’s plight, had one of his legs burnt while he was trying to save the woman.”
Olayinka, the mother of one was eventually rescued by some residents who asked her husband to take her to the hospital for medical care. However, Azeez rather hired a nurse to take care of Olayinka at home, a development that worsened her condition. This forced residents to contact the father of the lady, Pa Akintade, who lives in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Olayinka has since been moved to a hospital in Ibadan, Oyo State, where doctors are battling to save her life, while Azeez was said to have fled after the matter was reported to Ibogun Police Division.
The victim’s father disclosed that the doctors attending to his daughter demanded a sum of N1.5 million for urgent surgery.
“Azeez did not request for my daughter’s hand in marriage and he is not ready to do anything according to Yoruba marriage tradition.
“Some specialist doctors who came to examine my daughter at the hospital where she is being treated said we would have to provide a sum of N1.5 million to carry out a surgery on her body because her hands and other parts of her body is severely burnt and contorted.”
When the spokesman for Ogun Police Command, Mr. Abimbola Oyeyemi was contacted, he said that operatives were on the trail of Azeez.
“It is true. We are still on his trail,” Oyeyemi said.
