Confirming the incident, Osun Police Command’s spokesperson, SP Yemisi Opalola said the suspect confessed that he pushed the deceased in a heat of rage, and that his actions were not deliberate.
According to her, the suspect claimed he could not understand the spirit that possessed him when he pushed his mother leading to her death.
