Woman Stabs Mother Of One To Death Over Chelsea/Athletico Bet
A woman stabbed her mother in the
chest, at Old Ojo Road, Amuwo Odofin local government area of Lagos State, on
Thursday over the soccer match between Athletico Madrid and Chelsea Football
Club.
The woman, identified simply as
Funmilayo, was said to have made a bet that Athletico Madrid would defeat
Chelsea while her neighbour, a man identified as Seun, said that the result
would be the other way round.
They agreed that Funmilayo bet with
N1,000 against Seun’s N5, 000 and the duo agreed to respect their side of the
bargain, as they gave the money to a woman identified as Anna.
Investigations
revealed that immediately the match ended in the night, an excited Funmilayo
ran to Anna, demanding the money.
Meanwhile, Anna was said to have
been shouting at Seun who had wrenched the money from her and left behind only
N2, 000.
An eyewitness, Martins disclosed
that Seun demanded that Anna give N1000 to Funmilayo, because that was the
amount she dropped for the betting.
According to Martins, when Anna
informed Funmilayo about the development, she headed straight to Seun’s
apartment, demanding for the remaining N4,000.
Martins said that Funmilayo had held
on to Seun’s shirt and he had slapped her.
Angered by the slap, Funmilayo
grabbed a bottle close by, smashed it and was threatening to stab Seun, when
her mother came in-between them, only to be mistakenly stabbed by her daughter.
Funmilayo’s mother was said to have
been rushed to the Isolo General Hospital for medical attention.
Seun reportedly escaped from the
scene before the victim’s other children would return home.
A police sergeant at the Satelite
Police Station, along Old Ojo Road, said the victim would not report the
incident, because she was mistakenly stabbed by her daughter.
