Jealous Man Allegedly Sets His Wife Ablaze Out In Adamawa
Residents of Guyak town in Guyuk's local government area are
both shocked and annoyed as a middle-aged man identified as Kuryanga has been accused of
setting his estranged wife on fire. His wife is simply identified as Janet
John.
Reports from Sahara reporters and other family
sources indicate that John and Kuryanga ended their 7-year marriage about 3
years ago. There is a standing court order prohibiting him (Kuryanga) from seeing
her because he has a violent behavior. According to John`s aunt, Noyina, Kuryanga
continued to threaten her despite the court order restraining him.
According to Noyina, the husband was armed
with petrol and matches which he used to attack the estranged wife and set her
ablaze while she was asleep.

"Despite getting married to another lady coupled with the
court verdict, Kuryanga still refused to let go of her (my niece). Since then,
he's been jealous, threatening her life and those of her suitors.
After he eventually struck, he still joined sympathizers at my
niece's bedside in the hospital the following day. He almost got away with it,
fortunately, his pregnant wife later confirmed that a container of petrol left
at the crime scene belonged to their family.
He tiptoed
to her sleeping area within our compound in the dead of night, poured petrol,
struck the matches, and fled; leaving her in flames. He got her because of the
scourging hot weather. We all sleep in the open'' Noyina said
Speaking
further, Noyina said "It
was terrifying to wake up to see the burning; it was like a typical horror
movie scene. It was more torture to hear my niece cry for help while she
burnt''
According
to the distraught aunt, Kuryanga has been arrested and he confessed to the
crime and pleaded for understanding.
