MADNESS! Man Sets Several Kids Ablaze While They Were Sleeping Over Their Dad’s Offense
A heart- wrenching and devastating incident has occurred in Adamawa State, resulting in the tragic loss of a young life and severe injuries to several others. A nine- year- old child, Chimba Daniel, succumbed to his injuries after being engulfed in a blaze set by a neighbor, Nicodemus Ajaku, in a dispute over a plot of land.
According to eyewitnesses, Ajaku, who is currently evading law enforcement, had been embroiled in a protracted and contentious dispute with the child’ s father, Daniel Cha’ ama, over the ownership of a parcel of land. In a misguided and malevolent act, Ajaku allegedly set fire to the room where the children were slumbering, mistakenly believing it to be the residence of his intended target, Cha’ ama.
The heinous incident occurred in the Mubi Local Government Area, where both men reside. Witnesses report that Ajaku fled the scene of the crime and has remained at large, prompting a manhunt by law enforcement officials.
