A 30-year old mother of four, Blessing Jimoh, has explained why she macheted her aged mother, ljeomo Odo, to death with a cutlass on the instruction of her pastor in Ile- Oluji area of Ondo State.
Blessing, when paraded alongside other criminals by the Ondo State Police Command in Akure, said she killed her mother when her pastor said is a witch.
“lt was my pastor that told me that my mother was behind my insanity and that I should find solution to my problem,” she said.
The Ondo State Police commissioner, Bolaji Salami, said the suspect committed the crime when she and her deceased mother were working at the farm in the Ile-Iluji area of the state.
Speaking, the suspect however claimed that she was mentally unstable when she committed the crime.
“It was like something was pushing me to kill my mother after my pastor told me she was behind my insanity. I was not happy with what I did.
“My pastor told me that my mother is a witch that she is the one behind my insanity.
“So after appealing to her and there were no changes, I have to kill her to see if my sanity would be restored.
“I cut off her neck with a cutlass. It was my pastor that said my mother was a witch.
“My mother is from Enugu State. I really don’t know what came over me,” Blessing said.
The state police commissioner, however, said that the son of the deceased, Odoh Tochukwu, reported the case of her missing mother at the Ile-Oluji police station.
According to Salami, the police detectives swung into action and arrested the duo of Jimoh Blessing and Tope Blessing who were suspected to be behind the murder.
