A shocking incident has unfolded in Eku, Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State, where a young man has been arrested for allegedly hacking his mother to death. According to community sources, the young man, who had recently returned from Ghana, deceived his mother into accompanying him to a location within the community.
On their way back, the boy allegedly stepped back and used a sharp knife to stab his mother in the neck from behind. The mother’s screams alerted nearby residents, who rushed to the scene and overpowered the boy. In the process, they also demobilized one of his legs with the same knife to prevent him from escaping.
The boy was subsequently handed over to the police, who took him to the hospital for treatment after obtaining a confessional statement from him. According to sources, the boy claimed that he was instructed by unknown individuals in Ghana to carry out the heinous act.
The community is still reeling in shock over the incident, with many expressing gratitude that the mother’s corpse was not abandoned by the roadside. The remains of the mother have since been deposited at a morgue.
The incident has raised concerns about the influence of external factors on the youth and the need for communities to be vigilant in monitoring the activities of their members.
