A suspected drug addict has strangled his mother to death in Ogun state.

The young man identified as Samson Sikiru was arrested after the incident.

His mother was a prophetess, in Itanrin Axis of Ijebu Ode in the State.

According to Ogun journalist, Tosin, the 32-year-old suspect strangled his mother to death in the early hours of Sunday, 16th July, 2023.

A distress call was made to Ijebu Rewa Organization about the sad incident that happened overnight after Samson’s younger brother who was on night shift, had gone to work.

According to neighbors, Samson left home for over five years, only for him to return home a month ago.

His mother was said to have made several complaints to neighbors and security operatives about the suspect using hard drugs.

“A neighbor who wants to be anonymous told Ijebu Rewa that Samson rushed to him in the early hours of today (Sunday) saying that the Prophetess (Samson’s Mother) had slumped and died. After the neighbors rushed inside and only for them to realize the mother was strangled to death as evidence of marks were all over her neck and leg, the left hand had broken, there was blood stain mark on Samson’s fingernails. The neighbors held onto him and he started saying he does not know anything and how it happened. It dawns on them that Samson was under the influence of hard drugs to have strangled his own mother to death,” the report says.
