Gruesome: Siblings hack mother to death with a machete

by Olaniyi Afolabi

Two siblings were arrested in Edo state for allegedly killing their mother.

The siblings, Omolayo Ojeifo, 25, and her brother, Taiye, 20, were said to have lured the victim, Itowo Ojeifo to a farm road where she was allegedly killed with a machete.

Reports say Omolayo had for long accused her mother of being behind her financial stagnation but recently tendered an apology before the unfortunate incident happened.

Read the Punch reports below:

On the reported day the mother was killed, the suspect was said to have appealed to her to accompany her somewhere.

The victim reportedly relented after much persuasion, abandoning the cassava she was said to have been peeling, to accompany her daughter.

Itowo was said to have been led through a bush path and midway, the younger sibling brought out a machete, with which she was hacked to death.

An eyewitness was said to have rushed down to the community to report what he saw.

Confirming the incident on Sunday, Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Moses Eguavoen, said the incident happened on July 3.

The PPRO said it was the former husband of the victim, Sunday Itowo, that made a formal report to the police on the incident.

Eguavoen said the suspects ran to Uzebba in Owan West LGA, but that covert police intelligence work led to their arrest.

He said the case will soon be transferred to the state command for further investigation.
