Agayo Iorzenda, a 17-year-old boy, reportedly killed his mother ‘because she was responsible’ for his being impotent in the last few years.
The teenager was on Tuesday, paraded by the Benue State Police Command.
Iorzenda was alleged to have shot his mother with a locally-made gun after accusing her of witchcraft.
The murder took place at Tse-Agbaigbe Ikyurav-Tiev 11, in Katsina/Ala Local Government Area of the state.
According to the state Commissioner of Police, Paul Yakadi, the teenager was apprehended Monday evening by the Police in Katsina-Ala.
Explaining why he killed his mother, the teenager said: “I went to consult the oracle over my impotence and I was told that my mother used my manhood for witchcraft and rendered me impotent. She did not want me to be a man.”
“So my friend advised me to kill her so as to use her blood to acquire spiritual powers that will help me become rich and also do many other things. That was why I shot her.”
