Tragedy struck at Old Ojo Road, Amuwo Odofin local government
area of Lagos State on Wednesday as a woman was stabbed by her daughter
over the soccer match between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea Football Club.
The
daughter identified as Funmilayo had made a bet with her neighbour,
Seun that Athletico Madrid would defeat Chelsea. She'd bet with N1,000
while Seun had bet with N5,000 that Chelsea will win and they both gave
the money to one Anna.
At the end of the match, Funmilayo won the
bet as Athletico beat Chelsea and she excitedly ran to Anna's house
that night to collect the money. On getting there, she found Anna
shouting at Seun who had come earlier and dragged the money from her,
leaving only N1,000 which he said should be given to Funmilayo as that
was the amount she bet.
According to an eyewitness, Martins,
Funmilayo headed straight for Martins house to demand her remaining
N4,000 after Anna informed her about what happened.
On getting
there, Funmilayo was said to have grabbed Seun's shirt and he landed her
a slap. She then grabbed a bottle, smashed it and was threatening to
stab Seun when her mother got in-between them to stop the fight and she
was mistakenly stabbed by her daughter.
She was rushed to the
Isolo General Hospital where she is receiving treatment while Seun
reportedly fled the scene before the victim’s other children would
return home.
A police sergeant at the Satelite Police Station,
along Old Ojo Road, said the incident would not be reported by the
mother as it was her daughter who mistakenly stabbed her.
