Police arrested a youngster in Delta for allegedly killing his mother.
Men from the Delta State Police Command detained a young guy who allegedly cut his mother to death in Eku, Ethiope East Local Government Area of the state, and is accused of ritual killing.
According to neighborhood reports, the young man who had recently returned from Ghana misled his mother into escorting him to a location within the village.
On their way back from where they had gone on foot, the youngster allegedly took a step back from the mother before stabbing her in the neck from behind with a sharp knife.
“Those who heard the mother cry ran to their location, subdued the child, and further disabled one of his legs with the knife he used on the mother, preventing him from fleeing. “He was handed over to the police,” said Ovo, a resident of the village.
According to Ovo, the police transported the youngster to the hospital for treatment after taking his statement.
“They admitted him to the hospital. “This was after they took a confessional statement from him,” he explained.
According to one of those who gave the youngster over to the police, the boy claimed that in Ghana, he was told to do what he did to the mother.
“He said little. He merely claimed they told him in Ghana to do what he did to the mother,” according to the source, who did not want his identity published.
“Thank God everyone heard the mother’s cries. Her body would have just been abandoned by the side of the road, with no one understanding how she was slain. Another resident, Kevwe, noted that the boy would have most likely fled the community as well.
Vanguard learned that the mother’s remains had since been deposited to a morgue.
