The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, in Gombe State has detained a 27-year-old man accused of setting fire to four houses in the Dele Jesu community, Balanga Local Government Area.
According to the NSCDC Commandant, Muhammad Muazu, the suspect, Segun Bulus, allegedly carried out the arson attack, rendering several families homeless.
The destructive act, which left a trail of devastation in its wake, was reportedly fueled by a dispute between Bulus and a relative of one of the victims.
The ensuing misunderstanding escalated to the point where the suspect resorted to burning down the houses.
“As soon as the investigation is completed, the suspect will be taken to court to face the wrath of the law,” Muazu stated.
