A video of a man dressed in yellow burning in flames surfaced on the internet in the early morning of Wednesday, 26th February, 2025.
In the video, police officers are seen frantically doing their best to extinguish the fire to save the burning souls. The man is seen rolling in pain.
He claims his property was vandalised by supporters of the National Unity Platform (NUP), leaving his father homeless due to their political affiliation. His efforts seeking help from the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and government have borne no fruit.

As a solution, the NRM supporter chose to alight himself in protest.
Eyewitnesses say the man arrived alone and, without uttering a word, doused himself in petrol before setting himself ablaze a few meters from the gate. His motive remains unknown.
Police officers stationed at Parliament responded swiftly, using fire extinguishers to put out the flames before rushing him to the hospital for medical attention.
