A Nigerian woman was arrested on Tuesday after allegedly setting her husband ablaze in Ijegemo village in Lagos.
Apparently Esther Peters was arrested while trying to escape. The police intercepted her after receiving a distress call.
Neighbours said that Esther was regularly having fights with her late husband Anayo Kenneth even though she denied being responsible for the crime.
According to a police report, Esther alleged that it was the candle they left at home that killed her husband.
Neighbours insist that the two had a brawl the previous day before the incident.
