A 20 year old Yahoo boy has been arrested in Oyo State for stabbing his parents.
Daniel Bamidele is said to have sneaked into their home and attacked his parents with a machete. This was reported by The Nation Newspaper on 25th January, 2024
According to the reports, Titilayo, Daniel’s mother ran out of their house while screaming for help as she was being chased by Daniel. This attracted passerby, who came to the rescue and held Daniel down and disposed of the weapon (machete) he was holding
While confessing to the deeds, Daniel said;
“I purposely lured my mother from a church programme she was attending, and as soon as we arrived home, I attacked her with a knife and was already inflicting cuts on her body when my father tried to save her from me.
“I attacked my father too because if I had not stabbed both of them, they would have succeeded in killing me.”
Daniel also said that he attacked his mother and father with a knife for giving him a fake name which caused the magic to be useless.
He also claimed that he made his elder brother his next of kin for his bank transactions but he discovered that his elder brother is trying to act smart
He said;
“I am a 200-level student of LAUTECH and I have built a three-bedroom bungalow from the money I made from doing yahoo business. I am angry with my parents, particularly my mother, for giving me a fake name instead of her real name.
There is a particular black magic soap that I have been using lately. The soap was given to me by the priest of a white garment church named Mathew.
I was the one who bought a generator for Pastor Mathew’s church around Ona Grammar School in Ogbomosho.
The soap was meant to bring me good fortune, but there was the need for me to call my mother’s name into it before it could work.
My mother told me that her name is Titilayo. But when I called the name into the soap, it did not work. Hence, I got angry and decided to stab her.”
However while narrating her own side of the story, Titilayo, Daniel’s mother said;
“I was called on the phone to come pick up my son from school at LAUTECH when he started exhibiting mental illness.
When we got home, his father brought a native medicine home and gave him to use. He slept off after taking the medicine.
However, when he woke up, he demanded the whereabouts of his phone and I told him I did not take his phone. He landed several blows on me.
He is a liar; I did not collect any money from him.”
Daniel’s father also accused his wife of being in the know of when Daniel started internet fraud and how he has built house for them.
He said;
“My wife was the one that indulged him (Daniel). She knew when her son started building a house, yet she did not tell me.”
