Truetells Nigeria learnt that the suspect also left a deep cut on the woman’s head.
Oyeleye reportedly attacked his 65-year-old mother, Esther, on Tuesday over an unknown argument in Akibo village, the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of the state.
According to Punch, a noise emanating from the victim’s house in the night forced her neighbours to storm out of their houses to find out what was happening.
The neighbours on getting to the house found Esther lying in a pool of blood, with her left and right hands cut off and a deep stab to her head.
Oyelere was also found by the neighbours standing beside his mother, holding a sharp cutlass.
An eyewitness who spoke on condition of anonymity with Punch 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.
The source said, “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 state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, who confirmed the incident said the suspect had been arrested and an investigation was ongoing.
Odutola said, “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.”
