64-year-old man set his five step-children ablaze
A 64-year-old timber merchant and father, Mr. Ojo Joseph, has been arrested by police operatives for setting ablaze five of his step-children, at Fagun Crescent area of Ondo State
The suspect alleged that his wife, who is the mother of the children, has been denying him sex for months. It was gathered that the wife only gave birth to twins for the suspect, after her first failed marriage, which produced five children
The 18-month-old twins and their mother, who was also in the room set ablaze by the suspect, only sustained minor injuries. However, during interrogation, the suspect attributed his action to a family spell. He said, “I blame my action on a spell. It wasn’t intentional but I realised my mistake. I regretted what I did to my wife.”
Ojo is accused of pouring petrol inside the room occupying the children and immediately lighting them up.
