Japanese mayor apologises for asking officials to set fire to a building

KOBE, Japan - The mayor of Akashi, Hyogo Prefecture, told city officials to set a building on fire in 2017 because he was irritated by a delay in negotiations with the building's owner, The Yomiuri Shimbun has learned.

Mayor Fusaho Izumi - who has been known as a "human rights mayor" - used this violent language to officials in charge of the negotiations. The city wanted to remove the building as part of a project to expand a national road.

"Set fire [to the building you can't reach an agreement on]. Burn it down," he was quoted as saying.
