A 37-year-old man, Nurudeen Bakare on Wednesday stirred confusion after he allegedly stabbed his 65-year-old mother, Bosede, to death.

It was gathered that the incident happened at Oremeji, Ilasamaja, Mushin area of Lagos state.

The incident started after Bakare accused his mother, popularly called Iya Fali, of sitting on his father’s property which led to a heated argument.

An eyewitness, Iya Bose told DAILY POST that she heard them arguing, but was unconcerned not knowing that it will lead to the woman’s death.
