Man murders 86-year-old woman over witchcraft

A middle-aged man, Tope Adegbehingbe, has explained why he killed his 86-year-old neighbour, Mrs Janet Oyeniyi, at Ajebambo village near Oniparaga in Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State.

Adegbehingbe, who was arraigned before an Akure Chief Magistrates’ Court yesterday, said he murdered the octogenarian because he saw her in his dream trying to kill him.
Although Adegbehingbe’s plea was not taken as the court has no jurisdiction to entertain murder trial, the accused, however, said he took the measure because the woman was a witch. The accused said he attacked the woman with machete in early hours of that fateful day.
In his confessional statement made available to reporters at Oke-Eda Magistrates’ Court in Akure, yesterday, Adegbehingbe confessed that he was guilty of the murder charge brought against him.
