A 27 year old carpenter based in Lagos, has met his untimely death for his inability to pay back N200 borrowed from his landlady in 2013.
Michael Abodurin, was recently stabbed to death by hoodlums believed to be under the payroll of his landlady, Idowu Adenekan, in the Oworonsoki area of Lagos.
Before he died, a bottle was smashed on his head after which he was stabbed with a pair of scissors in the chest.
Residents who spoke to Punch Newspapers disclosed that the incident happened last Saturday around 11pm.
“I had just returned from work that day when I met them, arguing over N200. I was told that Abodurin’s friend had owed the landlady the money since last year and he had not visited the house since then.
”But he came on a visit that Saturday and when the landlady saw him, she demanded her money, which the man said he did not have. She insisted on collecting the money from him despite interventions from the people around.
When everybody saw that she would not let the matter rest, Abodurin offered to pay the money, but she refused. Her aged father also gave her the money, but she refused. At least, three people offered to pay the money, but she insisted that the debtor must pay her.”
They further described the landlady as a troublesome woman whom they all feared in the neighbourhood.
