The Delta State, Nigeria Police Command has arrested and detained a young man identified as Emma Eregarnoma for trying to pluck out his mother’s eyes for money ritual purposes in Caroline Street, Okuokoko.
The suspect had invited his mother, Oke Eregarnoma, under the pretense that he had prepared a surprise package for her.
He performed the money ritual act on Tuesday at his residence in Okuokoko town, in the Okpe Local Government Area of the state, in a bid to buy a Mercedes Benz.
She stated that on her arrival there, she saw him in an unusually joyful mood after he welcomed her in. He, however, increased the volume of his musical gadgets. She alleged that her son suddenly locked the door and made moves to strangle and pluck off her eyes, just as she screamed for help, but no one heard her due to the loud music.
According to her, after fighting with his son for some minutes, she regained her strength and ran outside for help, while neighbors came to her rescue.
Oke also stated her ordeal and recalled that before the attack, her son boasted that he must drive GLK this week.
The suspect has consequently been arrested and taken to the police station at Oreropke, while his mother receives medical care at a hospital in Okuokoko.
