Woman sets husband’s house ablaze over divorce dispute

A 20-year-old woman, Amina Hassan, residing in Shuware community, Mubi North LGA, Adamawa State, allegedly set her husband’s house on fire after he refused to proceed with their pre-arranged divorce.

Amina, who had married Muhammed Auwal just five weeks prior, claimed that there was a prior understanding that her husband would divorce her shortly after their wedding.

According to the State Police Public Relations Officer, Suleiman Nguroje, Amina informed the police that her husband, contrary to their agreement, refused to end their marital union. In frustration, she reportedly lost her temper and set their house ablaze.

“We made an arrangement that he would divorce me after the marriage. I met him and pleaded with him to divorce me, but he remained adamant.

“He descended on me and started beating me instead of divorcing me, as a result of which I lost my temper and set the house ablaze,” she told police operatives who are now investigating her.

On Tuesday that a few days before the wedding, Amina had informed her parents that she was no longer interested in the marriage.

However, her parents insisted there was no turning back as they had already distributed invitation cards.

Sources close to her said that after all her efforts failed, she sought help from a native doctor to turn her husband’s heart away from her, only for the husband to appear more interested.

To escape her anger, the native doctor is said to have fled Mubi and made his phone number inaccessible.
