See How Man Stabs His Mother To Death In Bayelsa State

There was tension in the Elebele Community of Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, as a 22-year-old man identified as Godwin allegedly stabbed his mother to death over allegations that she hindered his destiny and wealth.

According to residents of the community, Godwin returned to the area a few weeks ago after months of sojourn in Benin City, Edo State.

Some residents said that the suspect returned with strange behavior, claiming that a native doctor had cautioned him that his deceased mother was holding his destiny and wealth.

Confirming the incident, the Youth President of Elebele Community, Precious Okala, said that upon arriving at the scene, they found the bloody corpse of the deceased, while the youths of the community apprehended the killer son.

“We were told that since the boy came back from Benin City, Edo State, he had been behaving strangely. On the fateful day, he was reported to have had a struggle with his mother and stabbed her in the stomach with a knife.

“The boy was heard saying that a ‘Baba’ had told him that his mother was in possession of his destiny and wealth,” Okala said.

Meanwhile, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Musa Mohammed, stated that the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for a detailed investigation.
