Emma Ereegarnoma, a young yahoo boy, was detained for reportedly attempting to remove his mother's eyes.
On Tuesday, September 14, the suspect performed a money ritual at his home in Okuokoko town, Okpe Local Government Area, Delta State, in order to purchase a Mercedes Benz.
He reportedly invited his petty trader mother to his house for a surprise, and she was overjoyed when she entered and heard loud music coming from his home theater.
He shut the door after greeting her, strangled her, and attempted to take her eyes out. She was able to break free and run out to neighbors who rescued her as the loud music drowned out her calls for help.
Emma, her son, was arrested and turned over to the police. The suspect, who had earlier boasted about buying a Mercedes GLK this week, is now being held at the Orerokpe police station while his mother seeks medical attention at an Okuokoko hospital.
