In the tranquil village of Alako Nla in Abeokuta, a horrific tragedy shattered the life of 44-year-old fish farmer Dauda Jolaosho. As reported by Punch, Jolaosho recounted the harrowing incident that claimed the life of his beloved wife.
The tragedy unfolded over an unpaid solar light debt. Jolaosho and his neighbor, Saheed Olawale, had jointly purchased solar lights, but Olawale had fallen behind on his weekly payments. When representatives arrived to collect the lights, tensions escalated.
In a heart-wrenching account, Jolaosho described the moment Olawale’s rage turned deadly. While Olawale’s wife pleaded for mercy on her knees, Olawale pulled the trigger, leaving her lifeless on the ground. Jolaosho, who survived with gunshot wounds, was devastated.
“The next thing I saw was him coming with the local gun,” Jolaosho recalled. “While my wife was on her knees begging him not to shoot, he suddenly pulled the trigger. I was hit on my arm. When I looked back, I found my wife of almost 18 years in a pool of her blood. She was dead.”
The unexpected violence from a neighbor and close acquaintance left Jolaosho shattered. The tragedy had torn his life apart, leaving him to mourn the untimely death of his wife and the shattered remains of their once-peaceful community.
