Man sets ex-lover, two kids ablaze

A man, Ahmed Saka, has allegedly set his ex-lover Mutiat Oladele, and her two children ablaze at Shogoye, Idi-Arere in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

Police spokesman Olugbenga Fadeyi confirmed the incident, saying that Mutiat and Saka had been lovers before the woman ended the relationship.

Fadeyi added that Saka had threatened to end his life and that of Mutiat because she called off their relationship.

He said, “The man went to set the house of his ex-lover ablaze because the woman said she was no longer interested in the relationship.

“Unfortunately, the woman and her two children died as a result of the incident while the man later died at the hospital,” he said.
