After the tragic death of Lieutenant Samson Haruna, who was allegedly set ablaze by his wife during a domestic dispute in Akwa Ibom, another user reacted to the news saying, “Nobody have typed ‘what did he do to make her angry’ and that doesn’t sit well with my spirit.” This comment suggests the user was uncomfortable that no one had tried to justify the woman’s violent act. Such a mindset is deeply concerning — it reflects a dangerous attempt to rationalize brutality. Searching for reasons to excuse a horrific act like this normalizes violence. No provocation justifies setting someone on fire. Violence must never be explained away.
