According to Kolo, the quick intervention of neighbours helped to save the boy from being burnt to death.

“During questioning, the father confessed that his action was as a result of the behaviour of the boy, saying he was always quarreling with his elder brother, while he was also rude to him (the father). He said he was tired of the boy’s bad behaviour and had warned him several times to stop fighting with his elder brother, but he refused to take to warning,” Kolo said.
