Also, the wife of the suspect and two other children, are battling for survival in a hospital following the attack.
Tragedy struck Asa Umudim community in Osisioma Local Government Area of Abia State when a man, believed to be about 40 years old, allegedly set his house ablaze, resulting in the death of one of his daughters. The horrific incident, which residents say was triggered by suspicions of infidelity, has left the community in shock.
According to eyewitness accounts, the suspect doused the house with an inflammable substance before igniting it, reportedly accusing his wife of engaging in extra-marital affairs. “He just poured something all over and lit the fire. We tried to stop him, but it was too late,” a resident said.
While one of the children died in the blaze, the man’s wife and two other children sustained severe burns and are currently receiving treatment in a local hospital. Security agencies have yet to release the suspect’s identity, and an investigation into the incident is ongoing.
