Police Arrest Pregnant Woman for Allegedly Setting Husband Ablaze in Lagos

The Lagos State Police Command on Tuesday arrested a pregnant woman, Esther Peters for allegedly setting her husband, Anayo Kenneth Peters, ablaze at Ijedemo village, Isheri Osun, at the outskirts of Lagos, on Tuesday morning.


We gathered that officers from Isheri Police Station responded to a distress call and immediately swung into action, thereby intercepting the pregnant woman when she was trying to escape.

However, the suspect denied being responsible for the crime. However, neighbours said she was always in the habit of fighting with her late husband.

Lagos State Deputy Police spokesman, Mr. Damasus Ozoani confirmed that she had been arrested while the husband’s body has also been deposited in the mortuary, pending police investigation.
