Delayed Breakfast: Man sets wife ablaze
By Dayo Badmus,
One Mr. Hassan Azeez has allegedly set his wife, Olayinka, ablaze in Ibogun Olaogun area of Ogun state.
The incident which occured on Friday was said to have followed an altercation with the wife over delayed breakfast.
It was also gathered that the wife was eventually rescued by some residents who forced her husband to take her to a hospital for medical care.
Olayinka’s father, Pa Akintade, whose attention was sought after the incident, said Olayinka has since been moved to a hospital in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Pa Akintade noted that a sum of N1.5 million was needed for urgent surgery to restore her to good health.
He said: “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 have been severely burnt”.
Confirming the incident, the spokesman for Ogun Police Command, Mr. Abimbola Oyeyemi, said operatives were on the trail of Azeez.
