The Tragic Story Of Lt. Samson Haruna Whose Wife Burnt Alive (pics)

They say love is sweet… but sometimes, love can be wicked. Is love truly wicked, as some people say? Sometimes, love turns into something dark… something deadly. This is the sad story of Lieutenant Samson Haruna, a young Nigerian Army officer who served his country with pride — but lost his life in a shocking and painful way… inside his own home. He wasn’t killed by enemies on the battlefield… He was set ablaze — by his wife. Lt. Samson Haruna was not just any soldier. He was a Medical Doctor in the Nigerian Army — serving as the Regimental Medical Officer at the 6 Battalion, Wellington Bassey Barracks, in Ibagwa, Abak Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.

He was loved by his colleagues — known for his calmness, discipline, and dedication. And just six months ago, he got married.Everyone thought it was the start of a beautiful union. But behind the smiles and military uniform, something was breaking apart — quietly, painfully. It was the night of September 22, 2025. Inside their apartment at the barracks, an argument started between Lt. Haruna and his wife. Some reports say the fight began because his wife found messages on his phone — messages she believed came from another woman.

Voices were raised… tempers flared… and then, in one dark moment — she snapped. According to reports, Mrs. Haruna grabbed a can of petrol, poured it on her husband… and struck a match. The flames consumed him instantly. Neighbors rushed out. Some tried to help — shouting for water, sand, anything to stop the fire. Inside that barracks, chaos filled the air. Lt. Haruna was rushed to the Military Reference Section (MRS) inside the barracks. He was still alive — badly burned but conscious. Doctors and soldiers worked through the night, trying to save him. He was later taken to the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital for advanced care.

But the burns were too deep… His body couldn’t take it anymore. Lt. Samson Haruna died from his injuries. News of his death spread quickly — first within the barracks, then across the country. A young army doctor… gone, not in battle, but at home. His wife — the woman he loved — was arrested immediately by military police. She is now in custody, as investigations continue. Neighbors described her as a quiet woman, not known for violence. So everyone kept asking the same question: What went wrong? Some reports claim she acted out of jealousy — saying she believed her husband was being unfaithful.

Others say the couple had been having regular arguments since their marriage. But no one expected it would end like this — in fire and death. The Nigerian Army has not yet released a full official statement, but sources confirm that Lt. Haruna’s body has been taken for burial rites according to military tradition. Every year, stories like this remind us of one truth — Anger, when left unchecked, can destroy everything we love. A moment of rage can end a life, a marriage, a future. Now, two lives are gone — One to death… and one to prison. Lt. Samson Haruna served his country with honor. He deserved peace… but found tragedy at home.

May his soul rest in peace. And may this story remind everyone listening — When anger burns in your heart, walk away…
