Forty-two year-old
Anthony Imafidon has been arrested for intentionally crashing a van into the
Staten Island building where his ex-wife, Bisi, lives in the U.S.
The incident
happened just before 11 p.m. on Sunday and it was captured on video. Police
believe he had an incendiary device in the van, which sparked the fire.
Fortunately,
his ex-wife and children — a 15-year-old girl, a 13-year-old boy and an
11-year-old boy -— and others inside the building were not hurt. Officers said
they don’t know what prompted the incident.
Imafidon, who
holds a first degree in Economics from Bayero University, Kano and a second in
Psychology from the Staten Island College, was taken to Richmond University
Medical Center and later released to police custody.
The suspect,
who is the owner of Pride African and Caribbean Store on Staten Island, has
been charged with attempted murder, attempted assault, arson, criminal
mischief, reckless endangerment and child endangerment.
