Owate Bode, a middle-aged Nigerian man, is accused of murdering his mother because she refused to give him Ghc 50 so he could attend a funeral.
After his arrest, he stated that he is not mentally stable, yet he requested his mother for N2,000 (Ghc50) so that he may attend a funeral in their town.
His mother lied she didn’t have such a sum, so she just handed him N10 and angered him. Because he was furious by the meager amount of money handed to him, he grabbed a hoe and whacked his mother in the head.
After her head split in two, the elderly woman died on the scene. Members of the community apprehended Owate and gave him over to the police.
