The suspect, who claims to have been suffering from a spiritual problem for over 30 years, confessed to have used a hoe to kill his mother.
Speaking in a short video that has gone viral on social media, Owate said he demanded for ₦20,000 from his late mother, to buy clothes for a burial ceremony, only to receive ₦10,000 from here.
The suspect said: “Yesterday (Friday), I told her that this morning (Saturday), she should go and withdraw money for buy clothes I will wear for a burial. Early this morning before I woke up, she left the house and said she was going for the burial.
“And I asked her about the money I requested for or if she doesn’t want me to attend the burial again. She said okay, she will withdraw the money for me.
“She went and withdrew N20,000 and when I went to meet here there, she gave me only N10,000. I started wondering where I can go and see clothes worth N10,000 to buy.
