A boy, Kefas Luca, has accused his 40-year-old mother, Mary, of beating his father to death.
It was
learnt that the incident which occurred in the Gonin-Gora of Chikun
Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Saturday, was said to have
started after the deceased arrived home at midnight and an argument
ensued between the couple.
The wife, Mary had allegedly warned her husband on several occassions against
coming home late but the husband would not heed to her warning until that fateful day when the unthinkable happened.
According
to the deceased’s first son, Kefas, when he heard his father screaming
for help at 3 am, he attempted to enter but his mum shouted that it was
armed robbers that were attacking them and told him not to enter the
room.
Kefas explained that the more he tried to know what was happening, the louder his mother screamed ‘thieves! thieves!’.
Kefas
said by the time he summoned up courage to force his way into his
father’s room, he found him vomiting blood and could no longer talk.
He said at that point, his mother was still pretending that it was armed robbers who attacked them.
He said, “I heard my father shouting around 3am that day (Saturday) and so I called on my mother to inquire what was happening.
“My
mother shouted back at me from her room to keep off and remain quiet
that armed robbers were operating. The more I tried to get closer to my
father’s room, the more my mother screamed thieves! thieves! thieves!
“When I
finally summoned up courage to enter my father’s room, I found him
vomiting blood and he could no longer talk while my mother was still
pretending that it was armed robbers that attacked him.
“There
was a heavy object by his side and he was bleeding profusely from his
forehead. At daybreak, neighbours came around to help and the police
outpost at Gonin Gora arrested my mother and took her to Sabon Tasha
Police station.”
The
Police Public Relations Officer at the Command, Abubakar Zubairu, who
confirmed the arrest, said Mary had been detained by the command for
further investigation.
