A young woman, Glory Smart Emenuwe from Ezhionum community in Delta State has narrated how she was almost killed by her mother for no reason.
In a video shared on social media, she revealed her mother attacked her in 2013, chapping off her two hands and slashing her face with a machete.
According to Glory, she was almost killed by her mother, whom she said died later. The lady narrated that her father had asked the deceased to take her to urinate at the back of the house not knowing she had bad intentions toward her.
“What happened to me could be likened to an acc#dent because I never expected it. However, it was my mother that chopped off my hands and slashed my face.
On that fateful day, while I was still very young, I woke up one night wanting to urinate, so my father asked my mother to lead me with a torchlight to the back of our house where I could urinate.
While I squatted to urinate, I didn’t know my mother had a machete in her hand. The next thing I remember was that she descended on me with the machete and I fell down.
While I was down, she continued to cut me all over my body and I was screaming. It was then that my father rushed out and collected the machete from her and raised an alarm, which attracted the neighbours.
Unfortunately, by the time my father rushed out, my mother had already accomplished her intention. My father wanted to use the machete on her too but was stopped by the neighbours.
Afterwards, my father got my mother arrested by the police. However, she’s late now. The incident happened in Edo State in 2013.”
This is such a heartbreaking story. The late woman must have been suffering from a mental illness but her loved ones didn’t pay attention to her condition.
