[Video] 9-Year-Old Allegedly Identified As Person Who Set Ebeano Supermarket On Fire

A nine-year-old girl has been identified as the culprit of the
arson that reduced Ebeano supermarket in Abuja to ashes and black
powder.

Ebeano supermarket in the Lokogoma area of Abuja was burnt to
the ground on Saturday, July 17, 2021, with goods worth billions of
Naira destroyed in the raging inferno.

In CCTV footage widely shared on social media afterwards, an
unidentified woman could be seen lighting up the fire that
destroyed the entire shopping complex, before sprinting away from
the scene.

That woman has been identified as a nine-year-old minor who
joined her mum and sister to the shop.

“My mum took me to the shop. She wanted to buy xxx for my
sister. We went to the market first before going to the shop. My
mummy was with my sister at the drink session,” the little girl
stutters during questioning by a team of investigators.

She still has on her the same clothes she wore to the shop on
the day of the arson, as captured on CCTV.

It is unclear if the questioning was carried out on the same
day.
