Lami, from Bauchi State, reportedly bought a gallon of petrol, which she poured on Amina and then set her ablaze with a lighter. She said she had a relationship with Mustapha Ayodele, the husband of Amina, for three years, but he betrayed her and married Amina.
Amina Lawal, an indegene of Oyo State who is currently recuperating at the Orthopaedics ward of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching Hospital, Bauchi, said: “My husband told me that Lami tried to discourage him from marrying me because she had some affection for him, but he did not know that she could go to the extent of harming me."
