See Why This Man Set His Lover, Her 2 Kids, Mother & Uncle Ablaze in Abuja

Explaining what led to the evil act, he said he started dating Janet, a divorcee, sometime ago, adding that he supported her and the children financially.

He said the relationship however turned sour after he demanded sex from the deceased. He stated that each time he asked for sex, Janet would turn him down and taunt him. He said the matter got worse on April 12 when Janet informed him that his mother had told her that he suffered from hernia and therefore could not date him.

”Janet said my mother told her that I suffer from hernia, and that she could not date me; she called me a ‘mugu’ (fool), and said she had chopped my money. So, I went to where she was charging the phone I bought for her and took it.

She attacked me and bit my chest, and as I struggled to free myself from her grip, her cousin, Taphael, came in and pushed me down and held me there while she beat me with her fists. After I left the house, Janet’s younger sister called me on the telephone and abused me, saying they would deal with me if I come to the house again,” Oluwaseyi said.

He added that he relocated to his friend’s place at Arab Road in Bwari and kept getting telephone calls from Janet’s sister, who said he would be dealt with if he went back to the house.

He continued,

“On the night of April 15, around 11 pm, I went to the house and found that the gate was locked. I scaled the fence into the compound. I went towards Janet’s room and saw her sleeping, as the window was opened because there was no power supply. I went to the bathroom, where she kept a gallon of fuel and poured it into the room through the window; the room caught fire from a lighted lantern.

I headed for the bush to hang myself, but my phone suddenly rang and my brother told me that our house just got burnt; I told him I did it and that I was about to commit suicide. He said I should not, and persuaded me to report to the police.

I can’t get them off my mind, they haunt me every time; I thought it was only Janet that was in the room, I didn’t know the children were there. I thought they had gone for a vigil with their grandmother who attended vigil every Thursday.”

A senior police officer said the suspect did not know that he had killed all the family members, until he saw their charred corpses the next morning.

The police said the suspect would be charged to court soon.
