In the Asa Umudim village of Osisioma LGA of Abia State, a man who is believed to be around 40 years old set fire to his home, killing one of his daughters in the process.

In addition, the suspect’s wife and two more kids are fighting for their lives in a hospital after the assault.

Security services have not disclosed the identity of the culprit, who allegedly doused his home with flammable material before setting the property on fire because he believed his wife was having extramarital affairs.

The suspect was also said to have accused the wife of regularly picking up phone calls from people he suspected to be her boyfriends.
