Shocking reason son cut off his mother’s hands with machete

Ayobami Oyeleye, 30, is currently in the custody of the Ogun State Police Command for severing his mother’s hands with a machete.

The defendant was also accused of leaving a serious cut on the woman’s skull.

Oyeleye allegedly assaulted his 65-year-old mother, Esther, on Tuesday over an unspecified quarrel in Akibo village, the state’s Obafemi Owode Local Government Area.

It was gathered on Wednesday that a noise emanating from the aged woman’s house in the night forced her neighbours to storm out of their houses to find out what was happening.

On getting to the house, Esther was found lying in a pool of blood, with her left and right hands cut off and a deep stab to her head.

The neighbours were also said to have met Oyeleye standing beside his mother, holding a sharp cutlass.

An eyewitness who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the severity of the incident said Oyeleye also used the cutlass to inflict injuries on the aged woman’s head and legs.

The source stated that the victim had immediately been taken to the hospital for medical attention.

“With a sharp cutlass in his hand, he severed both hands of his mother and caused another deep injury to her head and legs. We have taken the mother to the hospital for treatment,” the source said.

Speaking with PUNCH Metro on Wednesday, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, who confirmed the incident to our correspondent, said the suspect had been arrested and an investigation was ongoing.

“The suspect is now in our custody. Our men visited the scene where the cutlass used to carry out the crime was retrieved. Currently, an investigation is ongoing,” the police spokesperson said.

Ex-NYSC DG Tsiga regains freedom after 56 days in captivity

Brigadier-General Maharazu Tsiga (rtd) has regained his freedom after spending 56 days in captivity.

Daily Trust had reported how the former Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) was abducted from his hometown in Bakori local government area (LGA) of Katsina state, on February 5, 2025.

He was kidnapped alongside nine other residents.

However, after payment of ransom by his family, his abductors still held him captive for weeks.

There were conflicting figures regarding the ransom paid earlier.

While some claimed the sum of N60m was paid, Daily Trust reliably learnt that the actual money paid for his release is thrice higher than that.

A close family member told our correspondent that after receiving the money, the kidnappers kept mum for one week before contacting the family, where they put the general on phone to speak with them.

“The money was taken to them and it was only after one week, that was on Tuesday March 11, that they called and we heard his voice,” the source revealed.

He added that the kidnappers had called though to demand for more money, which he said was not given to them.

“Nothing was actually added and as we speak they are in Zamfara state from where they will take the general to Abuja,” the source said.

A top military source also confirmed Tsiga’s release to Daily Trust. Sources close to the family said he is in good condition.

‘I’m not broke’, NURTW leader Agbede denies selling Lagos mansion for N420m

 

National Chairman of the defunct National CareTaker Committee of the National Union of Road Transport Workers( NURTW) and two terms chairman of the Lagos State council of the union, Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede, has strongly denied the rumours making rounds that he disposed of one of his houses in the Oko Oba axis of Agege, Lagos for N420m.

Reacting to the allegation, the NURTW boss stated, “It has come to my attention that a story has gone viral claiming that I, Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede, have sold one of my mansions in Oko-Oba for a staggering #420 million. I am compelled to respond to this blatant falsehood and set the record straight.

“Firstly, I do own more than one house in the Oko-Oba area, but none of them have been put up for sale. The house in question is actually undergoing renovation, and contractors are currently working on it to make it more habitable.”

Agbede challenged anyone to prove him wrong by providing documents to back up the alleged transactions. “I challenge anyone who claims to have purchased this property to produce the necessary documents and papers to support their claim. I am confident that no such evidence exists, as this transaction is purely a figment of the imagination.

He appealed to members of the the public to disregard the false news and to be cautious of the spread of misinformation.

“I appreciate the support and understanding of my friends, family, and colleagues in this matter.l want to use this opportunity to assure my friends and fans that I am not broke , so nothing can warrant selling of my property,” he said.
