An unidentified man has deliberately set his own house on fire in Kwara, authorities at the State Fire Service said.
Mr Hassan Adekunle, who is the spokesman for the Director of Kwara State Fire Service, Falade Olumuyiwa, confirmed this in a statement.
He revealed that the incident occurred at about 10:28 am on Sunday at Lekki Phase One in the Eyenkorin area of Ilorin, the state capital.
Adekunle, while quoting reports, said the man claimed to have deliberately sprayed the three-bedroom building with petrol and set it on fire due to the high level of frustration from his wife.
According to him, the fire could have left the building completely in ruins but for a resident in the area who promptly alerted the fire service about the incident.
