---------''It was a mysterious fire''--- suspect

The police in Lagos State have are investigating one Benjamin Nkemakolam Ogudoro, for allegedly setting his wife Chinyere and his brother inlaw ifeanyi abaze

Ogudoro's wife, Chinyere, who had been in Scotland had  returned to Nigeria to visit her husband and was was said to had been wiith  her younger brother, Ifeanyichukwu Edoziem at the couple's house at number  5, Zone 7, Oteyi Garden Estate Abule-Ado when the suspect allegedly set the house ablaze.

Mr. Ogundoro however denied the allegation. He said

“My wife was a Manager at Fidelity bank foe eight year and she suddenly lost her job. She was depressed and was loosing her mind seeing her like that broke my heart and I suggested that she travelled for an educational programme abroad just to take her mind off the job lost.My wife used to call me baby.Well, it was a mere coincidence that the fire happened the same day my wife returned to Nigeria. It is suspicious, though, but fate was dealing with me. My wife owned the house and the documents are in her name. She bought the house when she was a manager at Fidelity Bank. We were planning to sell the house when she wanted to renew her Visa .” On a fateful day, on April 1, my wife arrived in Lagos from Scotland without informing me. I was somewhere around 9 pm when she called her Nigerian number that I should come and open the gate for her. I didn’t get angry that she paid a surprise visit. I was thinking, maybe, she wanted to see if I had a girlfriend or if I had married a new wife. I ran down home from where I was and welcomed her. When she entered the house, she told me to excuse him and her  younger brother to have some family discussion. I didn’t get angry and I left them alone as they went straight to our guest room and started discussing with her only brother who had lived with me for five years.

“When I waited for some time and their discussion was being too prolonged, I decided to go and take one bottle of beer in a nearby joint. After drinking the beer, I returned home and they were still holding talks. So I decided to stay in our sitting room and watch the television. While I was watching TV, I saw flames coming out from the house and when I opened the door from where the flame was coming out, I was hit by a serious heatwave and some part of my body got burnt. I ran away and started calling for help. I didn’t know how I found myself in the hospital. When I woke up, I learnt that my wife and her brother were killed by the strange fire ''

“ I do not  have a hand in their death.
