What exactly will make a man go from a salon to salon collecting people’s hair in exchange for money?
This is a question that only a
60-year-old man, Adewale Okunade, a landlord of a house on Segun
Olatunji Street, Ijoko, Ota, Ogun State, has its answer.
Okunade, who hails from Oyo State,
narrowly escaped being lynched on Thursday when some people in the
neighbourhood pounced on him.The suspect’s partner had gone to a barber in their neighbourhood to buy
some hair. The barber, however, refused. The suspect sent his partner to
go to the barber’s apprentice.
They alleged that the hair was being taken to an herbalist in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, who uses it to prepare charms for him. He said they were used to prepare medicine for his sores. Other herbalists who were there when Okunade was apprehended, said human hair could only be used for rituals not for curing sores.
