This wicked man set his son ablaze in Kwara state Nigeria, read the story below
A 22-year-old man in Omu-Aran, Kwara, Sola
Akangbe, died in the early hours of Saturday
following wounds from a fire allegedly set on
him by his biological father, Kehinde. The
deceased, a wheelbarrow pusher, was said to
have suffered high degree burns and was
confirmed dead by doctors at Ajisafe Hospital,
Omu-Aran, where he was rushed to by the
police on Friday.
The doctors at the hospital battled to save his
life as the fire affected most parts of his
body. The deceased was said to have been
accused of stealing an undisclosed amount of
money from some roadside beggars on Friday
and was apprehended and handed over to his
father.
The father, a commercial driver, allegedly drove
his son to a nearby bush on Omu-Aran-Isanlu-
Isin road, tied his hands and legs before setting
him ablaze.
Sola, who was still alive when he was rescued,
told his rescuers that his father was responsible
for the act. The mother of the deceased,
Rachael, was seen crying in the hospital after
the death of her son was broken to her.
The mother, who is a trader based in Odo-Owa,
another suburb, told NAN that a friend had
notified her of the development on phone before
she rushed to the hospital to check on her
son. The mother, who acknowledged that Sola
was an unrepentant troublesome fellow,
however, expressed shock at the father’s
action.
She disclosed that although she gave birth few
weeks ago, she had divorced Kehinde about
seven years ago as a result of irreconcilable
differences. Mr Ajayi Okasanmi, the Police
Public Relation Officer in the state, confirmed
the incident, saying that the suspect was
already in police custody and that investigation
was ongoing.
