A 27-year-old man, Emmanuel Eghaghe, is on the run after he beat his mother to death for allegedly refusing to give him a sum of N20,000.
Emmanuel had reportedly visited the 61-year-old woman at her shop on July 6, 2018 and demanded for pocket money but resorted to violence when the elderly woman said she could not afford the amount, slamming her head on the wall while he was struggling to get the money by force.
She was said to have sustained an injury in the head and While blood gushed out of her head, Emmanuel fled the scene.
A resident, who wanted anonymity told Punch
“The sister of the suspect has a hotel in the community. He gave their mother a room in the hotel. She also opened a shop for the woman in front of the hotel. On that day, the suspect approached his mother and asked her to give him N20,000 pocket money.
“The woman said she did not have that kind of money. He pushed her to the wall and broke her head in the process. There were bloodstains everywhere and the woman eventually died in a hospital. He ran away immediately and has yet to be found. His sister was abroad and she was planning to relocate him there. A resident informed the woman’s brother and he travelled to Lagos from Benin. I was surprised why a child would do such a cruel thing to his mother.”
The deceased’s brother, Friday, told Saturday PUNCH that somebody had called him with Helen’s phone number on that day, informing him that Emmanuel was about to kill the sexagenarian, whom he described as a mother.
He said he called back the person several times to know what was wrong, but the phone rang out, adding that a girl who lived with the deceased later picked the call and told him that Emmanuel had killed her.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti, confirmed the incident, noting that the command had launched a manhunt for the suspect.
“The suspect is now at large. Detectives visited the scene and deposited the corpse at the Isolo General Hospital mortuary for autopsy. A manhunt for the suspect is being intensified.”
Chai!
ReplyDeleteLet me go anon on this one. I have a brother who used to threaten my mum when she was alive. She collected so many loans and in debt till her untimely death just because of same person!
DeleteNow she's dead he still continues with us girls because he's very violent but I'm cutting him off veeery soon!
This is what happens when Nigerian mothers train the girl and love the boy
DeleteIts just the case of a pampered boy who everything is done for
Its not the first time he's assaulting his mother, at least his sister should be grateful that this liability was not pushed to her.
Born by Mistake of a Useless boy... he done run enter bush..
DeleteWhen you tell them, they won't agree. Me I have already mourned my mum waiting for when they will tell me it has happened...except a miracle happens. Women Women Women train your boys or it will be your own funeral. Start from when they young....ok o. A word they say...
DeleteOMG!

ReplyDeleteMe too. Amen
DeleteThis type should've been miscarried.
ReplyDeleteEvil child
ReplyDeleteThis sort of crime will damage you mentally when ever you think of what you've done. Running away won't erase it.
ReplyDeletekaii, wicked child. What autopsy again, the cause of her dead is know.
ReplyDeleteRIPP to the woman. " the cause of her dead is know indeed".
DeleteAnon the cause of her dead is known.. is a mistake.
DeleteRip English.
DeleteI blame his sister,why not make him a responsible man and help him if he is into drugs,it is frustrating for a man to be jobless while his family can help him out, they will say he is man enough!!!please let this be a lesson,help those who are close to you,to this man..face the consequence of your action.
ReplyDeleteDid you read the post at all? have some conscience
DeleteThis anonymous is a child who behaves in line with this Emmanuel otherwise, the person wouldn't be typing rubbish
DeleteAnon so you're blaming the sister who told you he is into drugs and if he is ,does that makes it the sister's doing.
DeleteAnon@10:29... may your child do same to you.
Deletetoo bad
ReplyDeleteInstead of breaking the head of your head of state or governor.
ReplyDeleteTrain your children well O ye African parents! Stop copying oyinbo people and don't be over-indulgent. How did you get to the point where your child can talk back at you, shout at you or beat you like a panelbeater? How? There have always been stubborn children in families but you knew well to argue with your parents from a safe distance before you got a backhand slap or something hurled at you.
ReplyDeleteTell them to train their children well and they will tell you to mind your business as if your children's path will not cross theirs at some point in this life. How can you expect your children's lives to be 100% safe when your neighbour's kids are thieves, rapists, fraudsters and armed robbers? Thank God he killed his own mother and not somebody else's mother or child. If someone had arrested him for some misdemeanour, this same woman would have bailed him and fought neighbours for calling her son "useless". Ngwa le zia ya nu. Omo abiipabe radarada. Omo irankiran. Dan iska banza. Watch the family plead for clemency on mental health grounds na. They can even say "he is the only son". Mtscheeeew!
Am sure he wants to give a girl that money,useless child.
