An Army Corporal, Charles Thomson, has been arrested by the Kaduna State Police Command for allegedly killing his mother, Modupe Thompson.
The incident reportedly occurred on Tuesday, December 29, 2020, at their residence in Sabon G.R.A, Kaduna.
The 30-year-old soldier, who confessed to the alleged culpable homicide of his mother, while being paraded at the Kaduna police headquarters on Thursday, said he stabbed her to death because she was a witch.
According to him, his mother used to turn to a serpent at night.
He said, “I was arrested for culpable homicide, because my mother died in my hands while I was fighting with her. We were fighting as a result of a spiritual dispute; I saw her turning to a serpent severally at night, so, it angered me.
“She was even appearing and disappearing. And when I went into her room, I saw her with a 10-year-old boy running around her. That was what led to the fight.”
