A 75year old man was burnt to death in Osun state,Nigeria

A 75-year-old man, Lamina Ishola, was burnt to

death at his home in Aro area of Osogbo,
capital of Osun State, while neighbours
watched. People saw flame coming out of one
of the rooms in the mud house where Ishola
lived at about 9pm on the fateful day but
because the smoke was too thinck, no one
volunteered to go in to help.
An eyewitness said: some residents of the area
made frantic efforts to put out the inferno
before fire fighters arrived the scene but Ishola,
a father of a ten-year-old and a 7 year old girl,
burned to death before help cold come his way.
The 71-year-old brother of the deceased, who
identified himself as Ademola Oseni, said the
fire was caused by a kerosene lantern.
Oseni said Ishola, had a mental condition due
to an injury he sustained in an accident and
could have mistakenly hit the lantern while
asleep, igniting the fire that consumed him.
