Read the rest of the story below..............................................................................................
A Lagos
based business man Mr. Ayo Adeneye has been arraigned in a Customary court for
beating his 72-year old mother-in-law to coma.
The 47
year old who described himself as just a business man told the courtroom that he
came back to meet his three children with marks on their bodies with their
grandmother Mrs. Mary Alake claiming it was just for medicinal purposes.
Ayo
Adeneye who recounted the events of Saturday March 16 to the court, told the
court how he came back from work to surprisingly meet his children at their
Ilupeju residence with huge tribal marks on the chest region of their bodies. “I and my wife have three children, the first one is away in
Secondary school, while I have two at home, Borokini and Temi. I came back home
to meet the children I left with my mother-in-law with razor marks on their
bodies,” he revealed to the court.
The Ondo
State-born Mr. Ayo further revealed to the court that with his wife away, he
approached his mother-in-law for explanations for her actions but she refused to
be apologetic instead insisting that she was right to do anything she wishes to
her grandchildren. “I met my kids in their room sleeping and I noticed some
unusual marks on their bodies. I woke them up and they told me it was their
grandmother that put the marks on their bodies. I went to the sitting room to
ask her why she did that, but she refused to give me any answer,” Ayo narrated
to the court.
According to Ayo, his wife instructed him
to tell her mother to prepare to leave for Ibadan the following day, that news
didn’t go down well with the mother-in-law. “My wife called and asked me to
inform her mother that she would be leaving the following day, because we were
already fed up with her antics since she visited. She started insulting me and
attacked me with a razor blade, which led to me hitting her.
Ayo
however went a step too far with the tussle, as her mother-in-law eventually
ended up in an Ikeja based private clinic from the injuries sustained from the
fight.
Representing the petitioner, Barrister Frank
Ashaga however insisted that his client Mrs. Mary Alake carried out the act
based on the medical conditions of the children. “She was alone at the house
with the children who were not feeling fine and she had to help the only way she
knew best” the lawyer told the court.
Also
speaking to the court, Mrs. Bosede Adeneye who supported her husband revealed
that her mother Mrs. Alake visited the couple without their consent. “She has
not being in good terms with us for a long time and suddenly she called us that
she was visiting, I really don’t know why she visited,” she revealed to the
court.
The case
has however been postponed pending the availability of the petitioner, Mrs.
Alake.
