New information emerging from a family member of Lt. (Dr) Samuel Haruna who was killed by his wife who set him ablaze, has revealed that the deadly dispute that led to his death arose after she found a text message on his phone purportedly from a woman.
The family source said that despite the deceased's denial that he was having any affair, the jealous wife decided to carry out the dastardly act while he was asleep.
Both couples are from Dawo community in Mangu local government area of Plateau State and only got married in April, 2025 in a wedding that was the talk of the town.

ARMY OFFICER DIES AFTER WIFE ALLEGEDLY SETS HIM ABLAZE IN AKWA IBOM
7th October, 2025
A Nigerian Army officer, Lieutenant Samson Haruna, has reportedly died from severe burns allegedly inflicted by his wife during a domestic dispute in Akwa Ibom State.
The incident, which occurred on September 22, 2025, at Wellington Bassey Barracks in Ibagwa, Abak Local Government Area, was made public on Tuesday by counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, via a post on X (formerly Twitter).
According to Makama, Lt. Haruna — who also served as a medical doctor and Regimental Medical Officer (RMO) with the 6 Battalion — had a heated argument with his wife, Mrs. Samson Haruna, which turned violent. During the altercation, she allegedly doused him with petrol and set him on fire.
“The officer sustained serious burns and was initially treated at the Military Reference Section within the barracks before being transferred to the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital for advanced care,” Makama quoted a source as saying.
Despite sustained medical efforts, Lt. Haruna later succumbed to his injuries.
Authorities are yet to release an official statement on the incident.
