A 24-year-old lady in Lagos State has reportedly killed her boyfriend Moses Baba-Agba, by setting him ablaze.
According to Vanguard, it was reported that the incident happened Akoro, Badagry West Local Council Development Area, LCDA, Lagos State.
It was gathered that the aunt to the deceased, Pedetin Baba-Agba said the suspect told her boyfriend, 26, that she was pregnant and in return he has being giving her money for antenatal.
Moses had asked her to get a scan the week before to find out the baby’s condition, she said.
But upon her return, Toyin informed Moses that the scanning device malfunctioned when it was her turn.
In response, Moses’ mother took her to the hospital, where she learned that she was not, in fact, pregnant as she had claimed. Moses ended the relationship as a result.
Speaking further, Baba-Agba said on Friday night, Toyin asked Moses’ sister to follow her to the sea side for fresh air
The suspect instructed her to wait when she arrived because she wanted to choose some clothes at home. Toyin lit Moses on fire after she got home by dousing him in gasoline and setting him to sleep.
Baba Agba said, “She then escaped with Moses’ phone but as she was fleeing, she was badly wounded on the leg by the raging inferno that spread across the rooms.
“Moses struggled alone in the room for a long time before he could break the door and ran to my house for help. At first, we did not know it was Moses because he was burnt beyond recognition. In the ensuing confusion, we poured oil on him but to no avail. We then rushed him to General hospital where they referred us to the hospital at Ikeja where Moses later died on Monday. His body is presently at the mortuary in Badagry
“We are pleading with Nigerians to come to our aid. We have also learned that this lady had allegedly stabbed her former husband to death in Ajara, Badagry and nothing was done about it. The lady was tracked down to a church and she was handed over to the police. We don’t know what they are going to do about it yet”she said.
