Oma ga o, this is nothing but an abomination. A 17-year-old
secondary school dropout, Obus Felix, allegedly beat his 65-year-old
grandmother, Alice Onome, to a state unconsciousness during a disagreement over
a missing N20,000.
The incident, according to witnesses, occurred around
12.30pm in the Abraka community of Delta State.
It was reliably gathered that earlier on Wednesday, Onome
had accused her grandson of stealing the sum of N20,000, a development which
was said to have irked the 17-year-old.
An eyewitness, who spoke to our correspondent on condition
of anonymity, said Onome had returned from the farm and discovered that the
firewood and N20,000 she set aside for the preparation of her grandchild’s
thanksgiving ceremony were missing.
While searching for the lost items, Onome reportedly rained
curses on whoever made away with her money. It was gathered that the suspect
walked in at that point in a state of drunkenness and anger.
