Police in Ondo State say a 23-year-old man, identified as Samuel Akoade/Akuade, is arrested for allegedly hacking his 60-year-old mother, Olufunke Amoo/Akuade, to death in Ore. The incident is reported to have occurred on Sunday, August 16, 2026, at the suspects’ residence in Ore, Odigbo Local Government Area.
According to the reports, the alleged attack involved a cutlass/machete. Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria both say the suspect attempts to flee after the killing and that police recover the weapon and move in to arrest him. The outlets describe the incident as creating tension in the Ore community. Both accounts focus on the police action—recovering the weapon and detaining the suspect—while not detailing a confirmed motive or any response from the suspect beyond the arrest.
Authorities are expected to proceed with investigation and legal processes following the allegation.
