A photo of the newly-wedded woman who set her husband ablaze in Kano state for sleeping with another woman has surfaced online.

 

It was gathered the woman had accused her husband of infidelity, shortly after she heard a conversation he was having with an unidentified lady over the telephone.

 

She was said to have gotten angry and lit a keg of petrol within reach, which eventually exploded and engulfed their home at about 12am on Tuesday.

 

The released photo shows her at the wedding. A photo of the affected building has also been made public.

 

An eyewitness revealed that the wife, who was burnt beyond recognition, died at the scene of the incident, while her husband also died at an undisclosed hospital, where he was rushed to after receiving first aid at Fortress Hospital at Sarki Yaki within the metropolis.

 

However, another eyewitness, Mr. Emmanuel Okorie, who simply identified the late husband as Emeka, disclosing that the couple hailed from Anambra State. He said the late couple got married about five weeks ago.

 

He said the woman whose pregnancy should be about seven-months-old, joined the husband in Kano three weeks later.

 

Okorie, who could not establish, whether it was the alleged telephone conversation that led to the unresolved dispute, however, revealed that Emeka confided in him that his mother imposed the woman on him.
