Man Sets Ex-Girlfriend on Fire in Oyo Barracks Amid Rising Relationship Violence

In Oyo Barracks, a man identified as Lawal Faruq allegedly set his ex-girlfriend, Omolola Hassan, on fire after their breakup. This incident is part of a growing list of violent attacks resulting from failed relationships in Nigeria.

The Nigerian Police Command confirmed the arrest and ongoing investigation. This case reflects a concerning rise in domestic and emotional violence fueled by jealousy, emotional instability, and poor anger management.

Similar incidents in the past, like the burning of Cynthia Chukwundah by her lover, underscore the urgent need for addressing relationship-related violence in the country.
