An unnamed man has allegedly killed his 73-year-old mother, Cecilia Attah, at Nru, in Nsukka local government area of Enugu State.
Mrs Attah was reportedly killed on Wednesday by her son who hit her on the head with a plank during an argument.
It was gathered that shortly after the incident, the suspect ran to the nearby Nsukka Police Station to report that his brother wanted to kill him.
The deceased is also said to be the mother of a catholic priest identified as Nobert Attah, who is now on sabbatical in the US.
The eldest son of the septuagenarian, 54-year-old Athanasius Attah, an iron bender at the Mechanic Village, Nsukka, gave a statement at the police station on Thursday.
A senior police officer, who confirmed the incident, said that Attah’s death was accidental, adding that she was trying to separate two of her sons, who were quarrelling, when one of them accidentally hit her.
