Osun Man Remanded for Allegedly Killing His Mother Amidst Dispute
A 63-year-old man, Lukman Adejoju, has been remanded at the Ilesa Correctional Centre following his alleged involvement in the death of his 100-year-old mother, Aminat. The incident occurred on February 19, 2025, in the Oke-Ola area of Osogbo, Osun State.
According to the prosecution, Lukman and his mother had a disagreement while on their way to the farm. The quarrel escalated, leading Lukman to physically assault his mother. The altercation resulted in her tragic death. Lukman reportedly confessed to pushing his mother, causing her to fall and die, though he claimed he couldn't explain the "spirit that possessed him" during the incident.
The case was brought before an Osogbo Magistrates’ Court, where Lukman was charged with murder under Section 319 of the Criminal Code Cap. 34 Vol. II, Laws of Osun State, 2002. Due to the severity of the offense, the court remanded him in custody pending further legal proceedings.
