his in-laws on fire at Isampou in Ekeremor
LGA in Bayelsa state, killing the mother-in-law,
after his wife divorced him. The brother-in-law,
who sustained first degree burns later died at

corpses to carry out a reprisal attack by
setting ablaze his family house ablaze in
Bomadi, Delta State.
It was gathered that the suspect was having
marital problems with his wife who later
called off the marriage and returned to her
parent's village. An Isampou indigene said:
"Yes I heard about the fire. We gathered that
the wife left him some days ago insisting that
she does not want to marry him anymore. The
wife was living with her husband at Bomadi,
Delta state before she left for her mother’s
house at Isampou, Bayelsa"
The jilted husband allegedly poured fuel in and
around the home of his mother-in-law with the
intention of roasting the Wife, who was
reported to have planned to sleep in her
mother’s room.
"Though the wife had planned to sleep. But
changed her mind at the last minute and
moved to the house of a friend. It was only
her mother and her brother that were in the
house during the fire." an eyewitness said
