A mother-of-two, identified as Mrs. Blessing Eno, has been arrested by the police in Cross River State for allegedly beheading her 11-month-old son in the Yonen community of Ugep, Yakurr LGA of the state.
The unfortunate incident occurred on Tuesday, November 29. Vanguard reports that the suspect, who may be suffering from Schizophrenia (Mental Disorder), took out a matchet and cut off the head of the baby, claiming that the child was disturbing her and a spirit instructed her to slaughter the boy.
It was gathered that it was her eight-year-old son who stumbled on the gory sight of his headless brother and a blood drenched mother who raised the alarm that attracted neighbours to the scene of the crime.
However, the timely intervention of the police, who immidiately took the lady into protective custody, before ferrying her out of Ugep averted an angry mob from extra judicially killing her at the station.
Confirming the arrest, the spokesperson of the state police command, Irene Ugbo, said: “It is quite unfortunate and devastating, already she is in protective custody, but the matter will surely be brought to Calabar.” (Read More Here).
