He became unconscious and fell down from where he was sleeping. My mother used the pestle to hit my father’s head three times. He later died.

“When my mother saw that my father was already unconscious, she hid the pestle at the back of our house and ran away.

”I alerted some of the residents, who rushed my father to the hospital. But he later died. His corpse has been deposited at the morgue.

My mother had three children for my father and I’m the last child,” Ibukun said.

Reacting to the urgly incident the brother of the deceased said the family have mediated several times to settle their issues.

According to him, “The woman had been threatening to kill her husband whenever they were fighting. And the deceased informed us about the threats. But we never knew she would carry out the devilish act.

But this time, she took laws into her hands and killed our brother for nothing. She must be arrested and prosecuted accordingly.”
