In Ondo Grandmother Sets Son, Daughter-In-Law, Grandchildren Ablaze
A 75-year-old grandmother has allegedly set her son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren ablaze in Ondo State.
The woman identified as Iforiti Oloro, was accused of pouring petrol in the residential building housing her son, Victor Oloro, his wife and of two, sparking off fire.
An eyewitness who resides in the community, Bayo Adegboyega, said that residents noticed that the family’s house was on fire on Saturday, about 2:00am and all the family members were at home.
“I had to join other neighbours in putting off the fire by breaking the windows to gain entry. But, sadly, by the time we entered, Victor Oloro, his wife Racheal, and their two children, Blessing and Toluwani, had been affected by the fire.”
“So, we rushed them to the Federal Medical Centre in Owo after being rejected at the state hospital in Akure because of the degrees of burns suffered from the fire incident, but unfortunately, we lost the last born on arrival while on Sunday night, the man and his wife died. Only the firstborn is alive but in a critical condition.”
The woman reportedly confessed to having set the building on fire because her son and his wife were allegedly starving her.
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Funmilayo Omisanya, who confirmed the report, added that the Divisional Police Officer, DPO in the community, was still awaiting the details of the incident.
