Iya Biodun, 86, died in the Ondo Trauma Centre after being set ablaze by her daughter over witchcraft allegations.
Iya Biodun sustained severe burns after her daughter, Abiodun, poured petrol on her and lit her on fire.
Abiodun said she committed the act because a Pastor informed her that her mother was responsible for her predicament.
The perpetrator had stated: “I called my mother out of the house around 5 a.m. and set her ablaze because of what I heard, that she’s behind my problems.”
Ondo Police spokesman, Funmilayo Odunlami, who confirmed the incident said the suspect would soon be charged to court.
