20-year-old
Seun Akintoye's love for 17-year-old Hannah Osazuwa may have cost him his life
after he failed to read the writing on the prophetic wall
The Attack
Hannah
Osazuwa was not in the right frame of mind. Perhaps her temper got the better
of her or did she actually overreact?
Neighbors
had always suspected that she drank too much and might be taking other spiky
substances.
Her violent
streak had finally brought Seun Akintoye’s life to a halt with one swing of the
scissors.
It happened
so fast, Seun was still in a state of shock when he pulled the scissors out of
his chest and fell to the ground.
Screams of
both their friends who were present when it happened brought the neighbors
rushing in.
The first
respondents remember seeing Seun gasping for air in a pool of his own blood.
All these
happened on October 16, just 3 days after her birthday.
In The
Beginning
Hannah and
Seun Akintoye were in love and they did not care about what other people had to
say. They thought they knew each other well enough.
Their
relationship has been described as toxic and its lethal nature seemed to be
what kept them together, but it finally drove them apart.
Hannah lived
in one of the popular Face-Me-I-Face-You buildings located inside Gowon Estate
in Egbeda.
Her single
room was all she could afford and she lived alone. Seun was a regular visitor -
everyone knew him as Oko Hannah.
The Amebos
in the compound peddled the rumour that she had been disowned by her parents
because of her wayward lifestyle.
A source,
whose shop is attached to the building where the sad event occurred told spoke
to Bounce News.
"After
we rushed into the room and saw blood on the floor, we used clothes in the
house to soak the blood that was coming out of his body, before trying to rush
him to a hospital inside the Gowon Estate.
"When
we got to the hospital, they refused to collect him, so we took him to the
general hospital in Igando, and on our way there he died, before we got to the
hospital. He lost so much blood".
Another
source told Bounce News that when the police from the Gowon Estate station came
to carry her away, she seemed to be in shock.
She may not
have realised what had just happened. The source says she may have been
motivated by an overdose of alcohol or
Witnesses said a day before his death, H banned substances she may have sniffed
earlier that day.
annah got into the ‘usual’ argument with Seun,
whom she stabbed on the leg with a knife.
Blinded By
Love?
If the
warnings of his friends were not enough to make him end his relationship with
her, the pain he must have felt from the wound on his leg should have alerted
him of impending danger.
The scissors
that became the weapon of death was part of the requirements that she was asked
to bring along for her sewing classes.
A source
told Bounce News that when he came with his friend to see her that faithful
day, she was intoxicated as early as 8am.
Seun was
upset by her appearance and told her how embarrassed he felt that she was so
unstable even before sunrise.
An argument
broke out. Seun tried to pull her into the room and make her calm but she
rushed in and grabbed a scissors with which she attacked him.
The Amebos
in the compound also claim that Hannah was linked to the accidental death of
another deceased person even before she met Seun.
She
allegedly escaped the long arm of the law because her father is a senior
officer in one of the country’s security outfits.
The Lagos
state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole said
that Hannah’s case was still under investigation at the homicide section of the
State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department in Yaba.
Seun’s love came
at a cost. Two days before he died he wrote on Facebook ‘Sometimes a man needs
to die to live again’.
Could he see
the future? Was he too deep in love to separate emotions and common sense?
