Man Mobbed To Death For Allegedly Killing Mother In-Law

A 42 years old man, Tambaya Manu has been mobbed to death after allegedly killing his mother in-law in Kebbi State.

NAN reports that the incident happened in Bangu village in Mahuta town of Fakai Local Government Area of Kebbi State.

An eye-witness, who pleaded not to be named stated that the man allegedly killed his in-law when he was refused access to his wife, who he had divorce earlier.

“The couple had a disagreement which led to divorce a month ago. Following the divorce, the wife had to relocate to her parent’s house.

“Several efforts to resolve the crisis and reunite the once-happy couple yielded fruitless results.

“Tambaya decided to storm his in-law’s house to retrieve his wife but her family members refused. This prompted him to brandish his machete and he slaughtered his mother in-law,’’ the source said.

According to the eye witness, the man attacked two other members of his ex-wife’s family but they were rescued by their neighbours.

“After committing the offence, he attempted to flee the scene but a crowd that had gathered overpowered him and mobbed him’’.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Mustapha Suleiman, said his men found the village deserted when they got there.

“Two people died in the incident – mother in-law and son in-law,’’ Suleiman said.
