from killing his mother before he descended on innocent
passerby.
He said “As early as 9 am this morning Abba picked
quarrel with
his mother over his drug abuse. Before we knew what was
happening he brought out cutlass attempted to cut his mother
and she managed to escape from the house. He ran out of the compound. The first man he met on bike – he macheted him on the wrist. Some people sitting by the roadside who rushed to grab him were not that lucky as he macheted one of them on head. He was rushed to the hospital but he died on the way. Abba ran into the nearby street and met the first person
that he came across at the back. As he was running he kept
hitting people with the cutlass”
