Recall that a lady on Wednesday, reportedly set ablaze her boyfriends house at the Achusah area of Makurdi, while the boyfriend was away at work.
The duo whose names are yet to be known, were said to have engaged in a heated argument a night before the incident.
A resident, Joseph, who spoke to DailyTrust said, the woman frequently visits her boyfriend from her village and always complain that he does not give her transport fare back home.
He added that she claimed to have she relied on her relatives to return home on several occasions even now that she is pregnant for him.
The woman reportedly waited for her boyfriend to leave for work before bringing out some of her belongings and lighted the house.
“……Then the following morning, she waited for him to go to work, brought out her few belongings before setting the house on fire. Unfortunately for her, the residents apprehended her before she could disappear from sight. She was handed over to the vigilante but later when her boyfriend was called upon; the community prevailed on them to settle the matter quietly without involving the police” Joseph explained.
Another elderly resident who also witnessed the case buttressed Joseph’s narrative, stressing however that he does not know the whereabouts of the duo after they were released by the vigilante members.
“They no longer have a home so they may have gone to take refuge with relatives. Only the single room burnt with all property inside is remaining for onlookers to sight,” he said.
