Edo Tragedy: Man Arrested for Arson Against Estranged Wife’s Home

Breaking News: House Fire in Edo Leads to Arrest of Estranged Husband

A 55-year-old man, Osaro Ahunwan, has been arrested for allegedly setting fire to the home of his estranged wife, Tina Uyi, in Idumwonwina, near Oluku, Ovia North-East Local Government Area, Edo State.

The incident occurred on January 1, 2025, when Tina, a 54-year-old businesswoman based in Italy, returned to Nigeria to celebrate the New Year with her family. Upon her return, Osaro attempted to enter her residence, but she refused, citing the end of their relationship and the return of her bride price in April 2024.

In response, Osaro allegedly threatened to burn down her apartment and harm its occupants. He then reportedly shattered the glass windows, doused the apartment with petrol, and set it on fire, leading to significant property damage. Tina sustained third-degree burns and is currently receiving treatment at a private hospital in Benin City.

Her nonagenarian parents were rescued by neighbors, and the Edo State Fire Service extinguished the flames.

During interrogation, Osaro reportedly confessed that Tina’s elder brother, Odaro Oviarobo, provided him with detailed information about his sister’s itinerary. Both Osaro and Odaro have been arrested, and investigations are ongoing.
