A 43-year-old man identified as Yusuf Hassan, was on April 4, arrested by men of the Ogun state Police Command for setting the apartment of his ex-lover, Busayo Falola, ablaze, which led to the entire building burning down.
When interrogated, he initially denied knowing anything about the incident, but when the DPO ordered detectives to go to his house and find out if he was at home at the time of the incident, he decided to open up and confessed to being the person that set the house ablazed.
He further said that he intended to burn his ex lover in her apartment because he had tried his possible best to reconcile with her but to no avail. He said he bought N500 petrol, poured it into her room through the window and set it on fire.
