Neighbours and passersby came together to extinguish the fire. Unfortunately, the blaze consumed all the belongings within the house, reducing everything to ashes.

As quoted by a local publication, Juliet said:

I separated from him in January, and every day he has been begging for a reunion, and I denied him another chance.

Yesterday, he phoned me pleading with me to have quality time with him, and I openly told him that I have decided to move on with another man.

That statement disturbed him and pushed him to do such an evil act.

The authorities are investigating the incident, and Juliet expressed her disappointment in Godfrey’s relatives, who did not respond promptly to the matter.
