On Saturday between 1 and 2 in the morning, Mr. Udochi Amala, 40, allegedly set himself, his wife, Mrs. Amarachi Amala, and their three children on fire because he believed his wife was unfaithful.

Udochi stated, “I have an issue with my wife, and I did not know that it would get to this extent. I am tired of this life.”
Additionally, he purportedly attested to the fact that he had not caught her in the act with another guy.
