Friends mourn woman who was stabbed to death along with her husband by their son in Lagos

Friends have gone on Facebook to mourn a woman who was stabbed to death by her 23-year-old son in Ejigbo, Lagos.

Mrs Toyin Okhide and her husband Barr. Clement Okhide, 60, were stabbed to death at their home on Tuesday evening, February 4, 2020 (read here). Their daughter Mary Okhide was also stabbed and is in the hospital fighting for her life.

According to neighbours, they were stabbed by their son Michael Okhide, 23. Neighbours claim Michael has always been problematic and frustrated all efforts by his parents to mould him into a better man.

He was also reportedly addicted to drugs and this was a source of concern to his father who was a known disciplinarian in the area.

After the death of Mrs Toyin, Friends took to Facebook to mourn her.

May her soul rest in perfect peace. Amen. We all love you but whatever God allowed, what can we do but to stand strong and keep up the good fight on our knees praying for our children that they will not fall into the hands of the wickedness of this world. Amen. We all will miss you Sister Toyin Okhide
