At the Command
Headquarters, state Commissioner of Police, Mr Paul Yakadi, said he was
apprehended Monday evening by the Police in Katsina-Ala. He said the suspect
allegedly shot his mother with a locally-made gun after accusing her of
witchcraft.
The seventeen year-old boy,
Agayo Iorzenda, arrested by the Benue State Police Command, said he decided to
kill his mother at Tse-Agbaigbe Ikyurav-Tiev 11, in Katsina/Ala Local
Government Area, because she was responsible for his being impotent in the last
few years.
Represented by the Command
Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent, ASP, Moses Yamu, the Police
Commissioner said the matter was still being investigated by the Police after
which he would face trial.
Speaking to reporters,
Iorzenda said: “I went to consult the oracle over my impotence and I was told
that my mother used my manhood for witchcraft and rendered me impotent. She did
not want me to be a man.
“So my friend advised me to
kill her so as to use her blood to acquire spiritual powers that will help me
become rich and also do many other things. That was why I shot her.”
