shaku-shaku” lands a Hairdresser stabs in trouble
Trouble dey sleep, iyanga go wake am is a popular saying in Nigeria and that is exactly what has happened to the characters in this unfortunate story. A PUNCH Metro report has it that a 23-year-old hairdresser, Opeyemi Adamson, has allegedly killed her neighbour, Taiwo Olowookere, at their house in the Meiran area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that Taiwo, 28, lived with the suspect’s mother-in-law, who accommodated her after she separated from her husband.
Opeyemi, who lived with her husband, stayed in the same compound with the victim.
The duo were said to have nursed animosity towards each other until Friday, August 24 when things took a tragic turn.
The deceased had reportedly complained about Opeyemi’s eight-months-old baby, saying the child’s noise disturbed her.
The suspect reportedly insulted her, which led to exchange of words.
Taiwo, who reported the incident to the police before her death, said her assailant became angry after she (Taiwo) called hershaku-shakuwoman (useless person), adding that she stabbed her in the neck.
She had said, “about three months ago, I had a problem with my husband. The woman I was staying with was her (Opeyemi) mother-in-law.
“On a particular day, my child was ill and I took him to a hospital. When I returned, I greeted her, but she refused to respond. That was when our misunderstanding started.
“Around 7am on August 24, I went to bath my child. While doing that, her child started making a noise. I called her that her child was disturbing me, but she abused me.
“She started cursing me and I called hershaku-shakuwoman. She asked why I would call her such a name. She said she would show me what ashaku-shakuwoman was like. She went inside and brought out a knife which she used to stab me in the neck.”
