17 year old boy in Benue murders his mother for ritual purposes

A 17year-old boy named Agayo Iorzenda, has been arrested by the Benue State Police Command, for killing his mother in Katsina/Ala Local Government Area. He claimed she was allegedly responsible for him being 'impotent'.

According to Vanguard, he was paraded at the Place Command Headquarters. The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Paul Yakadi, revealed that the suspect who was caught by the Police after the incident, allegedly shot his mother with a locally-made gun after an Oracle revealed that she was a witch and had used his manhood, rendering him impotent.

Speaking to reporters, the culprit said:

“I went to consult the oracle over my impotence and I was told that my mother used my manhood for witchcraft and rendered me impotent. She did not want me to be a man. So my friend advised me to kill her so as to use her blood to acquire spiritual powers that will help me become rich and also do many other things. That was why I shot her.”

The Police are still conducting investigations, after which he would face trial.
