A fish seller, popularly known as Alhaja Adegbite, in Oluwatedo community, Ayetoro-Itele in Ado Odo-Ota Local Government Area (LGA) of Ogun State, has landed herself in trouble. She is being interrogated by the police over the death of her male lover in her house.
The man, a banker, was said to have died while making love with the popular Alhaja in her house.
Alhaja, it was gathered, had received the deceased in her apartment on 4, Ayegbajeje Street in the community on Monday afternoon, March 3.
Residents who spoke on the condition of anonymity said a community leader was alerted in the evening of March 3, 2014, that a man might have passed on in Alhaja’s house and that the woman was trying to cover up the incident by getting rid of the corpse...
The deceased who was said to be on vacation at the time he met his death at Alhaja Adegbite’s apartment, is a staff of a new generation bank. According to Daily Sun, the Alhaja she was said to have abandoned her husband for whom she had children, when the man suffered stroke and was hospitalized.
The community leader quickly reported the incident at the Itele police station close to the community. He also informed members of the vigilance group in the community about the development. The police, members of the vigilance group and some community leaders then arranged to monitor Alhaja’s movements.
Around 2:30am, the vigilance group was alerted that the Alhaja, with the help of a commercial bike operator, dumped the body of the man by the roadside around Kennedy Road, is a short distance to her residence.
The vigilante group alerted the police about the development before storming Alhaja’s apartment to confront her about the misdeed. When asked to produce the deceased’s body, the woman denied that a man died in her house, insisting that the man left her apartment the day before. But the men told her that they saw traces of the deceased’s legs being dragged to the roadside. They showed her the traces from her backyard, with streaks of what appeared to be the deceased’s blood as he bled from one of his legs and nose.
When it appeared that she wouldn’t confess, the men applied force on her. Some women in the community who also learnt about the development joined in the interrogation and the Alhaja was given some beating which forced her to confess that the deceased actually died in her apartment.
She reportedly confessed also that she arranged with a commercial motorcycle operator to secretly dispose of the man’s body because she was afraid of what would happen to her if people got to know about the incident. However, she insisted that she never had séx with the deceased, saying he only came to show her some documents.
But some residents in the area, notably women who didn’t want their names in print, told Daily Sun that the man actually died while in "active duty" with Alhaja.
But Alhaja’s maintained that it is just business that joined two of them. In her words:
“He had finished discussing a certain business transaction he had with some people when I shouted, telling him that he must have been duped by the men he had dealings with. It was at that point that the man expressed shock, and being hypertensive, he collapsed and gave up the ghost right there and then.”
Some of the residents were thoroughly angry, asserting that Alhaja Adegbite must be a very heartless woman to have tried to cover up the death of the man in her house.
But she insisted: “I was just afraid. I didn’t know things would turn out like this. I thought erroneously that covering up would be the best since I don’t know what killed the man. I am very sorry about this. Maybe I should be allowed to go with him. Since he’s dead, let me also die too,” she sobbed.
The man's wife is in grief, hence she couldn't speak to the reporter. Nigeria Police are on top of the matter
