Too much alcohol made me kill my mother – Suspect

Lukman Odejoju, a 65-year-old suspect, has described how alcohol contained in nylon packaging contributed to his mother’s death.

According to Vanguard, the suspect killed his mother in Kajola village via Apomu, Isokan local government area, Osun state, over palm oil proceeds.

While answering questions from reporters at the State Police Command headquarters in Osogbo, he claimed that the alcohol known as “pelebe” was the reason behind his fight with his mother.

“We were both arguing inside the farm over handing over of her palm plantation to me but she refused. Amid the argument I pushed and strangled her, but I didn’t know she would die.

“Before I went to the farm, I had taken a sachets of alcohol. It was after the incident it dawned on me that I had committed a grave mistake.

“I adjusted her body and went to the village to bring people back to the scene. It was at the scene I told them what happened.

“I love my mother, I am her eldest surviving child out of five children and I urge the government to forgive because it was not intentional”, he pleaded.
