‘Although when the house caught fire, I screamed out for help and people came to rescue them, I did not tell them that I was the one who did it until after three-day fidau prayer; I now confessed and was later arrested by policemen and brought here to Damaturu’ he told reporters at the Yobe State Police headquarters on Tuesday.
