A jilted lover man has set the woman who dumped him ablaze at the Mammy Market in Odogbo Barracks, Ibadan, Oyo State. A report by security blogger Zagazola Makama identified the man as Lawal Faruq, saying that he has been arrested by security agents.

“The victim, Omolola Hassan, was reportedly doused with petrol and set on fire by the suspect, who was said to have been angered over the breakdown of their relationship,” Zagazola said in a report published this Thursday morning, October 16, 2025.

It quoted witnesses as disclosing that military personnel at the barracks quickly intervened and extinguished the fire before rushing the victim to Yawiri Hospital, Akobo, for medical treatment.

“The suspect, who claimed that both had taken an oath never to separate, is currently in custody as investigations continue into the incident,” the report said.
