A family source told Daily Post correspondent in Uyo that when the deceased told her son that she did not have money to give him, he got angry and made for a matchet, which he allegedly used to hack down his mother in cold blood.

He said, “The mother of the man has always given him money whenever he asked. But on that fateful day, October 12, 2023, the mother told him that there was no money with her, so the boy got infuriated and macheted the mother to death.”

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Odiko Macdon, in a statement on Monday said the suspect, who is in their custody, has confessed to the crime and alleged that his mother failed to give him food for three days; hence, he used machete to inflict grievous injuries on her, leading to her death

The PPRO said the suspect would be charged to court when investigation is concluded.
