A middle-aged man has reportedly told the police how his wife alleg­edly set him ablaze after she drugged him.

According to reports, Kudirat Tijani, sedated him on Sun­day, and set their apartment on fire with the hope that he would be burnt to death.

Abubakar Ti­jani, said he miraculously survived by divine interven­tion. It could not be ascer­tained why Kudirate allegedly wanted him dead.

In his words, “Shortly after the fire was put out late night on the fateful day, my wife rushed to my elder brother’s residence at Pasali Extension in Kuje, headquar­ters of Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and informed him of a fire outbreak in our apart­ment.”

Abubakar’s brother, Salisu Tijani, corroborated the claim. Sal­isu, who reported the case at the Kuje Divisional Police headquarters, said at about 11.15pm of the fateful day, Kudirat reported to him at his residence that there was a fire outbreak in their flat.

Ac­cording to Salisu, he met his younger brother, Abubakar, lying motionless on a bed severely burnt. He said he immediately rushed him to the Kuje General Hospital, where he was given first aid treatment before he was re­ferred to the National Hospi­tal in central Abuja for inten­sive care.

Reports said it was after he had regained consciousness at the hospital that the vic­tim gave graphic details of how his wife had allegedly wanted to dispatch him to untimely grave.

However the FCT Police Commissioner, Wilson Inalegwu said “It is a very serious offense and she cannot be left off the hook just like that.

The victim is alive, he is responding to treatment. If he had died, they would have informed us and the offense will change from causing grievous harm to culpable homicide.”

Which kind of evil we nor go hear sef?
