A 22-year-old man identified as Godwin has reportedly st@bbed his mother to d3ath in the Elebele community in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
It was gathered that the suspect k!lled his mother over allegations that she hindered his destiny and wealth.
According to residents of the community, Godwin returned to the community a few weeks ago after months of sojourn in Benin City, Edo State.
While some claimed that a pastor had warned the deceased of the impending danger, cautioning her not to accept a strange gift from her son, others claimed the suspect returned with strange behaviour, making claims that one “Baba” had warned him that his destiny and wealth was being held back by his deceased mother.
The Youth President of the Elebele Community, Comrade Precious Okala, who confirmed the incident said on arrival at the scene, they found a bloody corpse of the deceased, while the son was held and tied by the youths of the community.
“We were told that since the boy came back from Benin City, Edo State, he has been behaving in a strange manner. On the fateful day, he was reported to have had a struggle with the mother and stabbed her with a knife in the stomach,” she said.
“The boy was heard saying that one “Baba” had told him that the mother is in possession of his destiny and wealth”.
The State Police Command’s spokesman, ASP Musa Mohammed, confirmed the incident and said the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for a detailed investigation.
