51-year-old man, Oluwaseye Ayoola, has been arrested by the police in
Lagos State for allegedly
killing his mother, Dorcas Ayoola.
Ayoola reportedly axed his 81-year-old mother to death over his sister’s will.
He was said to have absconded after committing the act.
But the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, SP Dolapo
Badmos, who confirmed the incident to newsmen, said the command’s
detectives from Ogombo Division launched a manhunt for the suspect and
he was consequently arrested.
The PPRO said on Wednesday, “The Lagos state command is investigating
a case of suspected murder committed by a man against his mother.
“On February 7, 2017 at about 11pm, one Akintunde Ayoola of united
estate, Sangotedo, Ajah Lagos, came to the station and reported that on
the same date at 6pm, he got information that his brother, Oluwaseye
Ayoola manhandled his mother over failure to release undisclosed amount
of money to him.
“However, on arrival at the scene, he found his mother, Dorcas Ayoola, 81, dead in a pool of her blood.
“The culprit, Oluwaseye Ayoola then fled to an unknown destination.
“At the receipt of the information, he was subsequently arrested by detectives from Ogombo Division on Tuesday.
“Upon interrogation the suspect confirmed that he had gone to his
mother to ask for the sum of #500, 000 out of his late sister’s will of
#11, 000,000 but she refused to give him, an occurrence which angered
the suspect and made him pounce on the old woman and axed her to death.
“The suspect is in custody while the corpse has been deposited in general hospital’s mortuary for autopsy,” the PPRO added
