One Dauda Jolaosho, a resident of Alako Nla village, along Kobape Road, Abeokuta, has alleged that his neighbor shot and killed his wife over unpaid solar light debt.

Jolaosho, 44, who is a fish farmer, alleged on Wednesday that his neighbour and friend, Saheed Olawale, a timbre operator, shot him and his wife but while he survived with a gunshot wound on his arm, his wife died instantly.

Narrating the tragic incident, Jolaosho stated that the incident which occurred on Wednesday, April 2024, had left him completely shattered, as his wife left behind eight months old twins, and three other children aged 13, 10 and five.

He said, “This incident actually started on April 23, 2024. I was about to go out when the people that we bought solar light from came to my house.

“We actually bought these solar lights from them last year, in March; we made a deposit of N10,000 after which we are now paying N1150 every week, the total money is around N67,000.

“And I have been paying what is due for this solar light every week, in fact, what I have left to pay is N3,000. So when these people came to my house, they said that they wanted to check on Olawale too, who is also popularly called Komaye.

“They said that Olawale has stopped the weekly payments and that even when he is called he won’t pick his calls. They said they are left with no choice than to go back with the solar light to their office and they left a phone number with which he can connect with them whenever he’s back from work”.

Jolaosho added that immediately Olawale got back from work and found out that the people had taken his solar light back to their office, he began quarreling with him and wasn’t ready to listen to his explanation.

He said, “the following morning, which was Wednesday, April 24, Olawale came to my house, picked my phone and left.

“The next thing, I saw him coming with the local gun and while my wife was on her knees begging him not to shoot, he suddenly pulled the trigger and I was hit on my arm, but when I looked back I found my wife of almost 18 years in the pool of her blood, she was dead”.

The fish farmer said the incident was first reported at Kemta police station, Abeokuta, after which it was transferred to the Ogun State police command, Eleweran, Abeokuta.

He added that his late wife was buried on Tuesday at Alako Nla, Abeokuta.

While demanding justice for his wife, he implored the Ogun State government and Nigerians to help him care for the five children left behind.

The Divisional Police Officer of Kemta, CSP Wale Famobuwa, in a conference call with the spokesperson of Ogun State police command, SP Omolola Odutola confirmed the incident.

The DPO said, “the incident was reported to our station between 12 and 2pm on that day and we went to the scene of the crime.

“What happened was that the husband of the woman who was shot dead was engaged in a fight with the alleged killer of the woman.

“He was said to have threatened to stone the man who later killed his wife, but this alleged killer warned him not to do that and that if he should stone him, he would shoot him.

“Jolaosho, however, reportedly went ahead to stone Olawale after which he (Olawale) drew out his dane gun and shot at Jolaosho and his wife who was trying to broker peace.”

The Police added that Olawale was still at large and vowed to bring him to book.

What Is Really Happening For This Ogun State?

Hmmm Anger

What type of dastardly act is this? The culprit should be hunted down like an animal.

You just put yourself in unnecessary trouble

Hmmm

They need to move Ogun State to SE cos it is the only state in the SW where they kill eachother like it's a tournament.

Dapo Abiodun should be stoned to death, never seen a living thing that useless.

Even wall geckos have some usefulness lol

I fear that region oh.
Human life means nothing to them.

The land of ritual killings belongs amongst the people who believe human skull mining improves IGR.
That's the SW.

The only region that a human skull enhances IGR.

No wonder the human skull is revered in the SW.

Matter ! This tinubu time. Wetin small anger to cause fit shake the whole nation ,tinubu have reduced our battery life span from 4bar to 1bar

Olawale get gun.

Lets say the owner of the house get gun too he wont dare come.

That is the fact.

Never give people impression that you dont like trouble.

emi lo kan people will eliminate themselves because of poverty

God

If Light stable solar for no cause quarrel.

How could you pull out a gun and shot a fellow human being without thinking twice.

People like this should be killed instantly without any option of life sentence or court charges

Like those student who killed their hostel mate because of phone, they should have all been killed by now.
Firing squad is the better option

Na so prepaid meter nearly cause wahala between me and my neighbour.
But I use maturity for am, no be by age be maturity, cause the said man is older than me

When we talk about bad governance, these are the effects.

If only there was stable electricity, this wouldn't have happened.

I am speechless...


Things like this will always happen until Nigerian Govt starts televising the Hanging of Death Row inmates ...
Whoever abolished Death penalty and Execution did us a disservice

Chai.

Debtors too should always have a good manner of approach or pay their debts too on time, there are many times i always feel to have a gun also and shoot some annoying debtors using your money to frustrate you.

It's when a creditor now go far in the cause of recovery their money is when you will start hearing or seeing that someone killed another person because of money but initial confrontation that leads to the frustration would be disregarded.


It's well

Nigerian police force, up till this moment the culprit is still at large

It's high time we moderate news in this plaform.
At least one good news after five bad news.
Omo which one be bad news from A to Z



RIP to de deceased and may God console the family and every Nigerian suffering from the hands of these heartless people

I want to see who would blame NEPA for this one.

I REMEMBERED WHEN DEATH WAS REALLY A SACRED THING IN NIGERIA

These ppl living in the slum, imagine the roof. Well, rip to the dead.

The suspect is still at large”

So from where did the police get the stoning and fighting story from, obviously not from the complainant

And what was the suspect doing with a gun inside another persons apartment


Lame story

I hate sharing utility bills with neighbours.

Incomplete narrative

That's why I always advise people never pass a negative message to your neighbour, because he will accuse you of being mastermind.

Frustrated men allover
