Crime2012, Nigeria, Woman Dies Over N50 Pap ( Akamu) by picolo01(op): 5:09am On Apr 13, 2012
If Madam Aregbesola, a pap seller at Adifase, Apata, Ibadan, Oyo State, had had any inkling that fighting over N50 with her and her customer, Mrs Eniola Abifararo (not real name), would lead to her death, perhaps, she would have had a rethink. But that was a decision too late as the woman slumped and died during the argument.

Efforts to revive her failed. She died on the way to hospital. And Abifararo immediately took to her heels. The incident happened 9.30pm on Saturday, February 18, 2012. The deceased, popularly called Mama Fatimah, recently re-married, having separated from her former husband. She left behind at her former matrimonial home four grown up children. She was, however, yet to bear a child for her new husband before her death.

The widower immediately went to Apata Police Station to report the incident, claiming that his wife was murdered by Abifararo. The incident created rancour in the family as the children of the deceased were said to have kicked against their step-father reporting the case at the police station. To them, he does not have any say on the corpse of their mother, since there was no child out of their union. Aregbesola, however, said his decision to report to incident at the police station was to allow the law take its course,

Few hours after the incident, Abifararo came out of her hiding and presented herself at the police station on the advice of her family members. She was immediately detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku, Ibadan. Speaking with Daily Sun at the SCID where she was being detained, the mother of two denied ever owing the deceased. She claimed that the woman was not a fufu seller but a pap seller.

According to her, she had sent her son to buy pap from Mama Fatimah and kerosene from another woman. She gave her son two N50 notes. But the mystery behind how one of the notes got missing later became a serious problem for her as Mama Fatimah slumped and died during the argument over how the money got missing:

“My son returned home that night crying and informed me that Mama Fatimah collected the two N50 notes from him and that she asked me to come and see her. I gave him the torn N50 note so that he could change it from the woman who initially gave it to me and use it to buy half a bottle of kerosene for us to cook that night.

“I went to see the deceased at her shop based on the advice of my landlady who insisted that I must go to Mama Fatimah to confirm what really happened and that my boy may have lost the money on his way. I followed him to the woman who gave me the torn money and she confirmed that she had changed the torn money for my son. She also confirmed that she saw two N50 notes with my son.” The deceased was said to have denied collecting the money from Abifararo’s son: “I then told her that God knows everything.” That comment by her was the beginning of the problem as Mama Fatimah reportedly got annoyed and resorted to shouting and abusing her:

“She even threatened never to sell anything to me again. I wondered why she made all the comment because I had never had any cause to engage her in controversy. I left the scene with the aim of returning to my house, but she held me and dragged me to a corner. She said none of us would sleep that day. She gave me a punch in my right eye. People tried to free me from her grip but, she insisted that she would not allow me to go home.
When I got home, I made up my mind to return the pap which she had given to my son. When I got there, I saw her discussing with some people, she was there with one of her children and her husband. I dropped the pap beside her daughter and turned back.

In annoyance, she took the pap and hurled it at me. I started running away, but she was running after me. I hid myself inside a house within the area. It was after sometime when I decided to go home that I met a man who warned me never to go home. He said Mama Fatimah had died and that her husband was looking for me with a cutlass in his hand.”
She thereafter went to her father-in-law’s house to hide herself.

She was there till the following morning when efforts were made to locate the deceased’s husband. But effort to appeal to him failed as he was nowhere to be found. A decision was later reached that Abifararo should come out of her hiding and present herself to the police to narrate her own side of the story. The case is still being investigated by officers at the SCID Iyaganku.
