A Nigerian woman who moved to Scotland with her children has died after allegedly being set on fire by her estranged husband on a trip back to her homeland.

Mother-of-four Chinyere Ogudoro, 46, and her brother Ifeanyi Edoziem suffered fatal injuries during an alleged incident at her family home in Lagos.

Her husband Benjamin Ogudoro, 50, has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

He is accused of having set his estranged wife and brother-in-law on fire as they slept.

She travelled home to Nigeria on Thursday and died at the scene of the alleged incident in the early hours of Friday morning.

Her younger brother later died in hospital but was able to give a dying declaration to police, alleging that his brother-in-law was responsible.

In the statement, reported by Nigerian newspaper The Nation, he said: “I went to pick my sister from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport when she returned.

“We were sleeping when her husband came in late, banging on the door. We had a little misunderstanding as he accused me of locking him outside.

“I told him I didn’t bolt the door; that I only used the key lock, and besides, he could have opened it since he had his keys with him.

“He kept shouting that I locked him out. He insulted me and my sister but we kept quiet.

“He left the room only to return when we had fallen asleep. He poured petrol on us, lit a match and went out. We were burning. I managed to escape but couldn’t save my sister.”

Reports in Nigeria say Chinyere had returned to speak with her husband after finding out he planned to sell their family home without her permission. Her children are believed to still be in Scotland.

Speaking to the BBC, Edna Durueke, a 64-year-old aunt of the victims, said Ogudoro had originally joined his family in Scotland before returning home.

She said: “My niece got a student visa to travel to Scotland. The visa allowed her to take her family so she took her four children and her husband.

“Nobody knows what happened to make the husband decide to return to Nigeria. No one heard my relatives shouting in the house.”

Describing the incident, she said: “Around 4am, neighbours realised what happened as they started to smell smoke. No one heard my relatives shouting in the house.”

Chinyere had set up home in Glasgow and set up her own management consultancy company in the city after graduating from university.

Friends have paid tribute to Chinyere, who worked in banking in Nigeria before moving to Scotland, on social media.

Chime Chimezie-uche wrote: “It’s still a shock that you are gone. You cared so much for your children. Your death is painful Chinyere. Rest in Peace.”

Odunayo Ogunsanwo posted: “Spoke with her two days before she went to Nigeria. She was a data enthusiast that did all to learn more and earn a new legacy.

“Why Chinyere Ogudoro of all people?”
