He Was Disturbing Me, ‘Spirit’ Asked Me To Kill Him – Mother Who Slaughtered 11-Month-Old Son.

Afolabi Oyekunle.

The Yonen community in Ugep, Yakurr Local Government Area of Cross River, experienced pandemonium following the slaughtering of an 11-month-old baby by his mother, identified as Mrs. Blessing Eno, who claimed she was sent to do so by a “Spirit.”

The shocking incident which occurred on Tuesday has left many in the community bewildered as the circumstances leading to the dastardly act remain strange.

Checks on the woman revealed that the woman might have Schizophrenia (Mental Disorder), as she took out a matchet and cut off the head of the baby, claiming that the child was disturbing her and that a spirit instructed her to slaughter the boy.

An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity disclosed 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 crime scene.

The timely intervention of the police, which immediately took the lady into protective custody before ferrying her out of Ugep, averted an angry mob from extra-judicially killing her at the station.

Meanwhile, the Obol Lopon of Ugep and Paramount Ruler of Yakurr LGA, HRM. Obol Ofem Ubana Eteng has expressed shock over the tragic incident while calling for calm.
