Mercy Aigbe's sister sets mother's home ablaze, accuses her of witchcraft

Dr. Patience, Mercy Aigbe's older sister, has taken extreme measures to vent her resentment toward her mother by setting fire to her mother's house. Their argument stems from Dr. Patience's assertion that their mother is a witch and her use of her witchcraft activity against her in favour of her other beloved daughter, Mercy.

She added that the old woman refused to help her pay back a N800,000 loan that she had borrowed and was required to refund.

According to rumours, Dr. Pat set fire to the residence on Adebayo Mokuolu Street in Lagos, which is directly across from Anthony Village Recreation Center. The house was totally demolished and nothing could be rescued.

The house, according to the locals, belonged to the deceased partner of the elderly woman's mother, with whom she had just one son.

Her home was in the mini-duplicate that his father had given to her son, who also happened to be Dr. Pat's half-brother.

The building is independent from the front-facing main structure, which also houses additional apartments.

Thankfully, the fire was contained and did not spread to the other flats, which belonged to the deceased man's other children from a previous marriage. After demolishing the building, Dr. Pat reported herself to the police.

Mercy reportedly started setting the house on fire while their mother was beside her. Later, Mercy drove over to the house in a black SUV to assess the property's damage.

The general public's belief that Dr. Pat had intended to burn the old woman in the house if she had been there that morning was confirmed when they overheard her yelling that she would kill their mother before starting the fire.

Locals claim that she has been exhibiting signs of mental instability for a while and believe that her mother is the one holding her back. The children of the deceased man—to whom the old woman was married—are now worried that she would return and further tarnish their father's property if they don't take action against Dr. Pat right now.
