[BIZARRE] Man sets wife, son ablaze in Ibadan
A man, known as Muyideen Olalere, allegedly set ablaze his wife and 8-year-old son inside their house in Ibadan on Friday. They later died from serious burn wounds.
According to neighbours, Muyideen and his wife, Felicia, had a quarrel at about 8pm, where she accused her husband, who served time in prison two years ago, of stealing N14,000 from her bag.
The man reportedly became angry, saying that his wife had exposed his secret and threatened that she will not witness 2014.
Around 2 am, neighbours said they heard shouts and saw smoke coming from Muyideen's flat. They rushed to the flat but discovered the house had been locked with padlocks from outside. They broke down the door and saw Felicia in her underpants clutching her son who had gone stiff with serious burns.
According to neighbours, two prominent government hospitals in Ibadan rejected Felicia and Gbolahan because their burns were too severe. They both died at Felicia's brother's house at Ogbere Babanla area of Ibadan around 4am.
Their corpses were deposited at the mortuary at State Hospital, Yemetu, Ibadan, for autopsy.
The Police Public Relation Officer, Oyo Command, DSP Olabisi Okuwobi-Ilobanafor, said the police are investigating the case and are searching for Muyideen.
