A 45-year-old man, Baba Mohammed, has been arrested by the Niger State Police Command for setting on fire one Usman Tetengi for wooing his girlfriend.
Mohammed, of Edo Baba village in Lavun Local Government Area, said he had warned Tetengi several times to stay off his girlfriend to no avail.
He said, “I am not regretting my action because if I did not kill him at that particular time, he would have killed me, so let him go in his next world he will not join issues with me again.
“I am not married, I do not care where this case will get to, the most important thing was that I have closed his chapter and stopped him from troubling my life. There are other women in our community but he choose to be making advances to the woman I have proposed to marry. No, he has paid dearly to it, it suits him well.”
