MOUTHPIECE NGR had earlier reported that a housewife, Ifeoluwa Bamidele, has reportedly set her husband, Bolu, on fire in Osogbo on Sunday.

Bamidele allegedly set her husband on fire after discovering that her husband cheated on her and had a child outside wedlock.

She thereafter left a message on her WhatsApp status, stating that her action was premeditated.

The message reads: “I’ve always been a calm girl and I have never done this in my life but Teebam (her husband) has pushed me to the edge.

“At this point, y’all will weep over myself and him before daybreak. I’m promising y’all that.”
