young woman, Funmilayo Adeyanju, in
a fit of anger hacked her three years old
son to death on Children Day, throwing
neighbours at the Ogunso area of Otta,
Ado-Odo/Otta local government area of
Ogun State into shock and mourning.
Adeyanju was said to have returned from
somewhere and had barely rested for
about 30minutes when she picked up a
kitchen knife and attacked the boy.
She allegedly pinned her son called
Emmanuel to ground and savagely
stabbed him in the chest, abdomen, head
and other parts of the body, leaving him
to die in a pool of his blood around 4pm
on Wednesday.
It is not yet clear what provoked the
killing, but many people that are familiar
with the circumstance of the mother and
child, claimed it may not be
unconnected with the trauma of the
relationship between the woman and her
biological father.
The Nation gathered that the boy is the
product of the incestuous between
Funmilayo and her father about four
years ago.
The state's Police Public Relations
Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who
confirmed the incident, said policemen
from Ota Division have arrested the
woman while the remains of her slain
child have been evacuated to the
mortuary.
Adejobi said: "Policemen have been to
the scene to recover the body of the
child. The woman has been acting
strangely like a person who is of
unsound mind. The police would carry
out proper investigation.
"The police will work on the state of
mind of the woman and we'll have to
seek the help of an expert to know her
mental state."
