Why I Cut Off My Mother’s Hands – Son

A suspect, Ayobami Oyeleye has been apprehended by the Ogun State Police Command for cutting off his mother’s hands.

The 30-year-old was said to have reportedly attacked his 65-year-old mother, Esther, on Tuesday over an unknown argument in Akibo village, the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of the state.

Narrating how it went, a source said,  a noise emanated from Esther’s house in the night forced her neighbours to storm out of their houses to find out what was happening.

On getting to the house, Esther was found lying in a pool of blood, with her left and right hands cut off and a deep stab to her head.

The source stated that the victim had immediately been taken to the hospital for medical attention.

“With a sharp cutlass in his hand, he severed both hands of his mother and caused another deep injury to her head and legs. We have taken the mother to the hospital for treatment,” the source said.
