The blaze affected five other rooms in the family house displacing five occupants.
A witness in the House narrated to mybrytfmonline that “around 11am we were eating when we heard one of the guys saying our house is on fire so we rushed to the scene. The person who caused the fire runs away so immediately we rushed to where he is to go and arrest him”
The ex-girl lover, Abigail Tei, a mother of one, told mybrytfmonline she was traumatized and feels unsafe.
“I was not around but someone called me on the phone that the boy has invaded my room and set fire into it. All the rooms here have been burnt. I lose everything my clothes, my fridge, mattress, my child’s clothes. I have broken up with him for the past month. I have nothing to do with him. I don’t feel safe. I don’t know what will happen if he is released”
The suspect is expected to be put before Court.
