Villagers helped rescue Ejike’s wife during the attack and rushed her to the hospital where her condition is critical.
Report had it that Ejike, fearing that his wife may not survive the attack, went into his car where there was a container of fuel, poured it on himself after a moment of sitting there deep in thought, and set himself on fire with a match.
Efforts by passersby to douse the flames and rescue him were unsuccessful.
