An eyewitness, Korede Michael, who narrated the incident said;
“we saw the house on fire around 2:00am at the weekend and had to break the window to rescue everyone in the house.”
“The woman, her son, Victor Oloro; wife, Rachael; and children, Toluwani and Blessing, were all in the house when the woman set it on fire.
“She got some dry palm fronds and the little petrol her son kept in a gallon (for generator), spread it around the house and then put fire to it.”

“I was the first person to notice the fire and jumped into the house before other members of the community joined me in rescuing them. We got a vehicle immediately to transport them to the government hospital in Akure, Ondo state capital”
Korede explained further that;
“when we got to Akure (UNIMED annex), the doctors and nurses rejected the patients, saying they cannot take care of them due to the degree of the burns and advised that we take them to the Federal Medical Center in Owo.“Unfortunately, we lost the last grandchild, who was just two and a half years old, immediately we got to Owo.
“On Sunday, the son and his wife gave up the ghost while the only grandchild left is in a critical condition.”

“the children could not send the woman out of the house when she started behaving strangely because it was built by her late husband”.
