A middle-aged man identified as Oladimeji Fowowe has been arrested by the police at Iju Police Station Red House, Lagos,for allegedly setting his wife on fire, when he threw a burning stove and hot water on her.
The suspect, who trailed his wife to Ijoko in Ogun State, where she had gone to assist her husband’s younger brother’s wife who had just put to bed a set of twins, committed the devilish act as soon as his wife returned home.
Speaking on her hospital bed at Ogba, Lagos State, the victim, Mrs. Oluwakemi Fowowe, said she left her husband and father of her three children, when his trouble and that of his mother became unbearable for her.
“I was at the passage facing outside not knowing that my husband had sneaked through the back door and the next thing I heard was a loud noise as he threw both the burning stove and a pot of hot water on me.
“My body caught fire and I ran outside, shouting for help before people assisted me in putting out the fire. I became unconscious before I was rushed to the hospital, where the doctors battled to revive me. I want all well-meaning Nigerians to come to my aid as I have no one to help me,’’she moaned in pains
Oladimeji was subsequently arrested and handed over to the police at Iju Police Station, where he was detained but he was later granted bail.
His wife’s family said he should not be sent to jail because of the three children his wife had for him. But he was advised to take care of the victim.
However, the wife’s family decided to press charges against him when he failed to honour his side of the agreement, to take care of the victim. He allegedly abandoned her in the hospital.
Oladimeji, who had earlier told the police that his action was the handiwork of the devil, has gone underground to evade arrest. The victim is appealing to well-meaning Nigerians to come to her aid as she requires about N400,000 for the treatment of the burns.

So is that why He shld kill her?
DeleteLarry,
DeleteWho raised the likes of you into this world? I am not sure she is a woman. Because, no mother would raised an imbecile like you to talk like that to a victim of domestic abuse. You should be ashamed of yourself and your mother if you have one at all! People like you should not be allowed to co-habitat with humans!
what a primitive reasoning ..shame on you
DeleteLarry,
DeleteYou are such a very shallow person and very primitive. Shame on you.

DeleteBut what is this new craze with lovers and married people acting like animals over minor disagreements?
ReplyDeleteThis fool should be jailed for life for committing this evil act.He does not belong to the society.As a matter of fact,hand over this fool to BOKO HARAM.

ReplyDeleteThose people condenming the man dont know anything about a bad wife. Some women give their humans too much problem... Women change your ways!! TUNDE
ReplyDeleteThe man is very stupid by punishing her like dat,the man is the devil himself.by kulume onyinye
ReplyDeleteAll men are mad, what has the woman done to warrant such treatment she only went to help her family the man should be castrated if you check him well you will find that he probably has a stash of university undergraduate girlfriends but his wife can not have freedom to help her family. May the good lord give this poor woman a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteYou said all men are mad???? this should include your father, grand father brothers, uncles, etc. the act of the said man is totally wrong and evil
DeleteThis inhuman act is as a result of lack of the fear of God on the side of the man. Any man that fears and obey God will never, no matter what the case may be, carry out such inhuman act on his lovely wife. He has to pay for his crime. Those children should be taken away from him because he might one day decide to use them for rituals.
ReplyDeleteMy advice to women. Make sure you marry a Godfearing and an obedient child of God. Because if you do, you are secured. Your lovely husband will never allow you to be harmed. However, women, do not carry out stupid act or say stupid things that will make your husband to be disappointed in you. - NJC.
Pls men no matter what ur wife did shld not deserve such treatment. The Bible said men luv ur wife as urself, but in this case now where is ur luv for ha, pls ha feellings shld be urs, watever dat hurts ha shld hurt u cos 1+1 in marriage is 1.
