The Ondo State Police Command has arrested a man, Samuel Akoade, for allegedly hacking his mother, Olufunke Akoade, to death in Ore, Odigbo Local Government Area of the state.
The incident reportedly occurred around 5pm on Sunday in the Powerline area of the community.
The suspect allegedly attacked his mother with a machete, leaving her with severe injuries that resulted in her death.
Confirming the incident on Monday, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Abayomi Jimoh, said the suspect was in police custody.
Jimoh said the police received a report that the deceased had been found lying in a pool of blood at her residence. Preliminary findings indicated that she had sustained deep machete wounds and was already dead when she was discovered.
Following the report, police operatives from the Ore Division mobilised to the scene, secured the area and commenced an initial investigation. A machete suspected to have been used in the attack was recovered, while the scene was photographed and documented.
According to the PPRO, the suspect, who was initially identified only as Samuel, reportedly fled the scene before the arrival of the police. He was later arrested following efforts by the operatives and taken into custody.
The remains of the deceased have been deposited at a mortuary, while the suspect remains in police custody.
The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Akure for further investigation.
