An Ogun based prophetess (name withheld) has been strangled to death by his son, Mr Samson Sikiru, who is suspected to be a drug addict.
The 32 year old suspect according to media reports, strangled his mother in the wee hours of Sunday, at Itanrin axis of Ijebu Ode of Ogun State.
Also, News Band gathered that a distress call was made to Ijebu Rewa Organisation about the sad incident that happened overnight after Samson’s younger brother who was on night shift, had gone to work.
Neighbours said that Samson left home for over five years but suddenly returned a month ago.
His mother before her death was said to have lodged several complaints to neighbours and security operatives about the suspect using hard substance.
“A neighbour who wants to be anonymous told Ijebu Rewa that Samson rushed to him in the early hours of today (Sunday) saying that the Prophetess (Samson’s Mother) had slumped and died. The neighbours rushed inside only for them to realize the mother was strangled to death as evidence of marks were all over her neck and leg, the left hand had broken, there was blood stain mark on Samson’s fingernails.
“The neighbours held onto him and he started saying he does not know anything and how it happened. It dawns on them that Samson was under the influence of hard drugs to have strangled his own mother to death,” the report says.
“It is indeed a sad day for the people in Itanrin axis of Ijebu-Ode. Samson has been handed over to the Nigeria Police Force and the mother’s corpse has been deposited at the Morgue for further investigation.”
Meanwhile, police authorities in Ogun State are yet to issue statement in respect to the unfortunate development.
