The Lagos landlord, Sola Solomon, who allegedly set his
tenant ablaze in the Idumota area of the state, has died. Police revealed on Wednesday
that the suspect died from the burns injuries he sustained while setting fire
to the tenant, Abeeb Daraloye.
Abeeb and his landlord had a disagreement over the use of
the compound toilet. Later in the day, 67-year-old Solomon reportedly poured
petrol on Abeeb and ignited a fire with a lighter. While on fire, the suspect
was alleged to have pushed the victim from the top floor of the three-storey
building, killing him in the process.
Solomon was reportedly rushed to the Lagos Island General
Hospital for his burns injuries, but was rejected before he was admitted at the
Gbagada General Hospital. A police source said on Wednesday that the suspect
died at the hospital.
He said, “The landlord is also dead. He died at the hospital
in the afternoon. So as it is, the case has been resolved.”
