How Two Children Machete Mother To Death In Edo

Two children identified as Omolayo Ojeifo (25) and her younger brother, Taiye (20), at the weekend killed their mother, Mrs. Itowo Ojeifo in Lampese.

It was learnt that Omolayo had been having some running disagreement with her mother, whom she allegedly accused of stalling her “progress in life” as well as bewitching her.

Ironically, Omolayo was said to have apologised to her mother few days to the incident, pleading for forgiveness that she was misled into believing that her mother was responsible for her ill fortunes.

On the fateful day, however, the suspect was said to have appealed to her mother to accompany her somewhere and despite her mother’s refusal that she was busy with house chores fell on deaf ears, she was able to persuade her mother into abandoning the cassava she was peeling and accompanied her daughter not knowing the danger that awaited her.

The deceased was said to have been led through a bush path to the farm and midway, her brother brought out the machete and started “cutting their mother.”

An eye witness, who was said to have been threatened by the suspects that he would be dealt with if he reports what he had seen was said to have rushed down to report to the community but before people could be mobilised to the scene, the woman had been killed by her children.
