Mother Slaughtered Infant Son ‘As Directed By The Spirit’

A mother, Mrs. Blessing Eno, on Tuesday, slaughtered her son in Yonen community, Ugep, Yakurr Local Government Area (LGA) of Cross River State.

Newsbreak.ng reports that Eno claimed she was sent to do so by a “Spirit”.

The mother of two took a machete and cut off the head of her 11-month-old child.

An eyewitness who does not want to be named 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 scene of the crime.
