In a tragic incident early yesterday morning, a father identified as Samson allegedly killed his young son and a nursing mother while injuring several others in Evwreni Community, Delta State. Following the violent acts, an enraged mob apprehended Samson, ultimately beating him to death and setting his body ablaze.
Witnesses reported that the events unfolded around 2 a.m. Samson is said to have first attacked his toddler son, leading to the child’s death. In a chaotic scene that followed, he reportedly killed a nursing mother, identified as Princess, who had taken her child outside for a toilet break. In the process of trying to subdue him, he also injured an unidentified male.
An anonymous source revealed that Samson had exhibited unusual behavior prior to the incident and was meant to receive medical treatment for his condition. “He violently attacked his toddler, then fatally wounded a woman who was outside with her child,” the source stated. “As people attempted to apprehend him, he injured more individuals.”
After the violent outburst, Samson was caught by the mob, who exacted their own form of justice before law enforcement could arrive. A senior security official confirmed the incident, stating, “By the time our officers reached the location, the suspect had already been set ablaze.”
Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Edafe Bright, could not be reached for comment at the time of the report.
The incident has sparked outrage in the community, raising concerns about mental health awareness and the need for timely intervention in such situations.
