Lady arrested for setting pregnant woman ablaze

The Bauchi Police Command have arrested a 22-year-old lady, Lami Clement for allegedly setting a pregnant woman ablaze.

The suspect was alleged to have attacked the pregnant woman, Amina Lawal in her house.

It was gathered that Lami poured petrol on the victim and allegedly set fire on her.

The suspect while speaking with newsmen said she wanted to set the house of the victim’s husband on fire for cheating on her.

She said, “I did not actually go there to burn his wife; my intention was to go to his house and burn all his property.

“I did not know his wife was in the house. He jilted me after long years of relationship and married another woman.”

The victim, however said the suspect entered the house and poured petrol on her.

“She poured petrol on me and set me ablaze. I removed my clothes and tried to open the door, but she had locked it from outside. It was when my neighbours heard me shouting ‘Fire! Fire!’ that they came to my rescue.

“My husband told me that Lami tried to discourage him from marrying me because she had some affection for him, but he did not know that she could go to the extent of harming me,” Amina explained.

Her husband, Mustapha Ayodele denied having any relationship with Lami in the past.

“I rushed home and met my wife burnt all over. We reported the matter to the Yelwa Divisional Police Station, after which they transferred us to the emergency ward of ATBU Teaching hospital for treatment.

“I have never dated Lami in my life. I only counseled her on how to go about her life affairs. Why would she attack my wife who is three-month pregnant just because she admires me?” Ayodele asked.
