This tragic incident has deeply shocked the Sapele community in Delta State. Mrs. Fatima Umukoro, the proprietress of His Majesty Group of Schools, was allegedly murdered by her 25-year-old son, Emmanuel Umukoro, on the night of September 8, 2024. Mrs. Umukoro was the wife of Rev Prince Umukoro, the resident pastor of Victory Family Assembly International (VIFA) and a respected figure in the area.
According to reports, Emmanuel had been struggling with mental health issues, worsened by suspected substance abuse. The combination of these factors is believed to have contributed to this heartbreaking event. The local authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, and the community is mourning the loss of Mrs. Umukoro, who was known for her contributions to education and her role in the community.

Some of the neighbours who spoke to the publication, said the suspect hacked his mother to d£ath with an axe and set her body ablaze.
Eyewitnesses said the gate of the Umukoro residence was left open around 10 pm, which was unusual. This prompted neighbours and passersby to check on the situation
