A housewife,
Mrs Rose Arogunyo has been arrested and charged before a Lagos court for
stabbing her neighbour, Margaret Tony with broken bottle for mocking her for
marrying a 65yrs old man.
The incident
happened at 48, Fatusi Street, Ejigbo, a suburb of Lagos where they reside.

Sunday as custom demands after Sunday’s wife died two years ago.

agreed on any issue to the extent that their neighbours tried in vain to make
peace between them.

mocked her for getting married to her husband, Sunday who was thrice older than
