Woman Stabs 3-Year Old Son To Death On Children’s Day

A young woman, Funmilayo Adeyanju, in a fit of anger has
hacked her 3-year old son to death on Children’s 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 yesterday.

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,” he said.
