“Earlier on the fateful day, a minor argument had ensued between them that resulted in a fight. After the fight, my father went to lie on the chair and my mother hit his head with the pestle.
“He became unconscious in the process and fell down from where he was sleeping. My mother used the pestle to h-it my father’s head three times and he later died.
“When my mother saw that my father was already unconscious, she hid the pestle at the back of our house and ran away. I alerted some of the residents, who rushed my father to the hospital.
“But he later died. His corpse has been deposited at the morgue. My mother had three children for my father and I’m the last child.”
The state Police Public Relation Officer of the command, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, who confirmed the incident, said, the command would soon arrest the suspect.
She said the deceased was quickly rushed to the hospital where he gave up the ghost.
“The incident happened last week when the couple had a fight but the suspect is currently at large. We are already on her trail,” the PPRO stated.
