Confusion As Mother Allegedly Kills Her Baby, Commits Suicide In Ayobo
A middle-aged school teacher and mother of one allegedly killed her
three-year-old son before allegedly committing suicide in the Ayobo area
of Lagos state today Saturday March 30th.
According to reports, the woman whose identity is yet to be revealed,
lived a comfortable life with her son at their home on No 1, Adeniran
Street, off Ferguson Osagie Road in Ayobo. Her husband is said to be
based abroad.
Residents say she was financially comfortable and had no known
trouble that may have led her to kill her son and then take her own
life.
Officers from the Ayobo Police Station who were invited after the
incident was discovered, say they are not ruling out possible double
homicide as the deceased and her son were foaming from the mouth when
they were found dead inside their home.
The remains of the deceased mother and child have not been moved as
the tradition in Ayobo area is that when sudden and unexplained deaths
occur, the Oro cult is always consulted to find out the cause of death
and to ward off evil spirits that may have been unleashed of the sudden
mysterious death.
Reports say the two corpses are currently lying in the house awaiting the Oro rituals before they are moved.
