Confirming the story on the woman who butchered her mother, the Akwa Ibom State Police Command have stated that the suspect is not of sound mind and will undergo medical examination before being charged to court.

“That story is true. She butchered her mum. We are suspecting that she is not of sound mind but we do not have any medical capacity to say so.
