A 30-year-old man, Ayobami Oyeleye, is currently in the custody of the Ogun State Police Command for cutting off his mother’s hands with a machete.

The suspect was also said to have left a deep cut on the woman’s head.

Oyeleye reportedly attacked his 65-year-old mother, Esther, on Tuesday over an unknown argument in Akibo village, the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of the state.

live Gist Media gathered on Wednesday that a noise emanating from the aged woman’s house in the night forced her neighbours to storm out of their houses to find out what was happening.

On getting to the house, Esther was found lying in a pool of blood, with her left and right hands cut off and a deep stab to her head.

The neighbours were also said to have met Oyeleye standing beside his mother, holding a sharp cutlass.

An eyewitness who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the severity of the incident said Oyeleye also used the cutlass to inflict injuries on the aged woman’s head and legs.
