Man shatters mother’s skull in Kwara

Isanlu-Isin (Kwara) Tragedy occurred on
Friday in Isanlu-Isin in Kwara, when a
middle-aged man, Taye Ibiwoye,
allegedly clubbed his mother to death
with an axe.
The deceased identified as Sarah
Ibiwoye, who was said to be in her late
sixties, died instantly from the attack
which shattered her skull.
The community was further thrown into
mourning when another elderly woman,
simply identified as `Iya Eleja’ slumped
and died when the news of Sarah’s
death was broken to her.
The people of the community said that
the accused was mentally derailed and
had been under treatment for sometime.
Some sources, who preferred
anonymity, said that Ibiwoye had
complained to the policemen who came
for his arrest from Oke-Onigbin that his
mother was behind his travails.
He was also said to have told the
policemen that while his brothers were
living comfortably, he was rotting away
in abject poverty because of his
mother’s action.
A relation to Iya Eleja, on condition of
anonymity, said that the woman was
hale and hearty before the unfortunate
incident.
“We have just come back from Omu-
Aran where we went to buy the
woman’s coffin. There was nothing
wrong with Iya Ejeja who was hale and
hearty before the news was broken to
her.
“Immediately the news of the incident
was narrated to her, she slumped and
died,” the source said.
The Divisional Police Officer, Oke-
Onigbin Police Command, DSP. Mr
Olutekunbi Ekundayo, said that the case
would be transferred to the State CID
Headquarters in Ilorin for investigation.
“There is not much we can do here as
far as this case is concerned, particularly
as regards the issue of the accused
person’s state of health.
“Though, it was a case of a culpable
homicide but as you can see now, I am
preparing the file for the transfer of the
case to the State CID for appropriate
investigation,” he said. (NAN)
