Nigerian Man Kills Mother Over 5am Smoking
Information reaching Ibom Focus says that Nigerian Man Kills Mother Over 5am Smoking
The Nigeria Police Force has arrested a 23-year-old man simply identified as Samson for stabbing his aged mother to death in Obiaruku, Delta State.
Samson’s arrest was confirmed by the spokesman for the Delta State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe to journalists on Wednesday.
In a video posted on X by a user identified as Ose, Samson was captured with the knife he allegedly used to kill his mother.
The body of the deceased lay in a pool of blood.
“Tragedy strikes in Obiaruku, Delta State as a young man suspected to be mentally unstable allegedly stabs his mom to death. Police apprehend the suspect,” Ose captioned the video.
Samson was initially relocated to Asaba, the capital of Delta State, to learn a trade after completing secondary school, according to reports. However, he was brought back a few months later after falling in with a group of young men who introduced him to drugs, which had a detrimental impact on his mental health.
Samson was subsequently brought back to Obiaruku, where his mother took him to a traditional mental health facility for treatment. An eyewitness, who wished to remain anonymous, told Vanguard that the family resides on Jehovah Street, Obiedike Obiaruku, near their shop, and shared details about the incident.
The eyewitness said, “The mother is in her 50s, but certainly not up to 60. At around 5 a.m., the mother came outside and saw her son, Samson, smoking. She confronted him, telling him it was too early.
“Perhaps she shouted at him. Then Samson went inside, brought out a knife, and stabbed his mother. The elder brother, who is a sickle cell patient, was the one who shouted, which made people enter the compound because the gate of the compound was still locked at the time.”
