An angry mob at Ita Balogun, Ilesha in Osun State, has killed a fifty-five-year-old woman, Esther Adu, suspected to be mentally unstable, for allegedly killing two of her neighbours.
According to eyewitnesses, the mentally unstable woman went berserk on Saturday, October 2, wielding a machete as she hacked her victims, 90-year-old Ojuolape Olojo and 70-year-old Samson Sunday, to death. Both deceased persons were her neighbours who lived in the same building. One other neighbour, Disu Olaleye, 70, was reported to have been seriously injured by the woman and is currently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&us_privacy=1—&client=ca-pub-2427099653703778&output=html&h=300&adk=2141876619&adf=667904977&pi=t.aa~a.1834861711~i.11~rp.4&w=360&lmt=1633334873&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=4779063894&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=360×300&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F2021%2F10%2Fangry-mob-kills-mentally-unstable-woman-for-allegedly-hacking-two-of-her-neighbours-to-death-in-osun.html&flash=0&fwr=1&pra=3&rh=275&rw=330&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChAI8MzqigYQxZytuoqDtpFmEjkAzeGsmNz_U_T09vg_Zr5AwjcnldIAoKigjkL0V9Cn3ybdYzdBuQfxHO9js5fRZSHwi4UWdxC51g0&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiOSIsIiIsIkluZmluaXggWDY1MEIiLCI5Mi4wLjQ1MTUuMTE1IixbXSxudWxsLG51bGwsbnVsbF0.&tt_state=W3siaXNzdWVyT3JpZ2luIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9hdHRlc3RhdGlvbi5hbmRyb2lkLmNvbSIsInN0YXRlIjo3fV0.&dt=1633334873542&bpp=54&bdt=10081&idt=-M&shv=r20210928&mjsv=m202109270101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D6f62d75ac2f0c0c6-2251d019a8c80035%3AT%3D1622665487%3ART%3D1622665487%3AS%3DALNI_MZ85Ep3SvTaGfc8Juk8Onrd6Hwi6g&prev_fmts=0x0&nras=2&correlator=4485753918389&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1187515804.1622665486&ga_sid=1633334869&ga_hid=517776668&ga_fc=0&u_tz=60&u_his=4&u_h=800&u_w=360&u_ah=800&u_aw=360&u_cd=24&u_java=0&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=0&ady=1014&biw=360&bih=664&scr_x=0&scr_y=39&eid=31062580%2C44750345%2C31062944%2C21067496&oid=2&pvsid=4252372107406658&pem=777&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C664%2C360%2C664&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=1152&bc=31&ifi=2&uci=a!2&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=iorojcmHXP&p=https%3A//www.lindaikejisblog.com&dtd=450
