What went wrong?
was the question asked by majority of people who heard about the story.
We used to hear about the people say sweet mother, but this was a
different turn, in the life of this 30-year-old man in Jos South Local
Government Area of Plateau State, who has confessed killing his mother
because she was allegedly responsible for his misfortune.
Father of five, living in Chugiri village also accused his mother of
using her witchcraft to kill his father, and two of his siblings as well
as another woman and her child in the village.
Vwang said himself and his children had been suffering from ill health
due to his mother’s alleged evil activities.
He said it was common knowledge in the village that his mother was a
witch and on the fateful day, he had approached her to stop the act but
out of annoyance he had hit her on her forehead, resulting in her losing
her balance and hitting the back of her head on the floor..
..
“She spent about a
week in the hospital before she finally died,” he said.
The state Commissioner of Police, Chris Olakpe, who paraded Vwang and 16
other suspects arrested for various offences, explained that the
suspect who was a secondary school drop-out had gone to look for menial
job but because he was unable to get any, blamed his mother for his
misfortune and beat her to death.
This is very sad.
