“I received a call from neighbours about the death of my mother and on getting there, I met her in a pool of blood in her room,” he said.
He added, “There were bruises on her head and blood all over her body, indicating that she was stabbed to death.”
The State’s Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Sunday Abutu, confirmed the killing, saying the woman was stabbed to death inside her room.
“There has not been any arrest so far as investigation is still ongoing. But soon, the command should be able to come up with a preliminary report.
“It is evident that it was a case of murder, but we have not been able to ascertain whether it was assassination or robbery. Our investigation will be thorough to be able to establish the real cause of death,”
Reacting to the murder, the traditional ruler of the town, the Onigede of Igede Ekiti, Oba James Aladesuru, condemned the act, adding that everything humanly possible would be done to unmask those responsible for the crime.
