Tragedy struck the Adeniran family in the Adewolo, Ayegun Oleyo Area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, when a woman, Nafisat Adeniran, reportedly slumped and died, while trying to separate her teenage son from a fight with neighbourhood boys.

Her 16-year-old son, Fawas, said the incident began when two boys allegedly threw stones that hit his leg, while he, his mother and younger brother, were heading to deliver some jewelries to a customer,

Angered by the act and getting no response when he questioned them, Fawas said he cursed the boys before leaving the scene.

Fawas explained further that the same boys later confronted him in front of their house over the curse, leading to an argument that degenerated into a physical attack.

He claimed the boys held him down and beat him up while his mother tried to intervene.

However, one of the boys involved, 15-year-old Abeeb Abdulfatai, gave a different account, saying he was chasing goats and throwing stones, when Fawas accused him and cursed that whoever threw the stones would be struck dead by Ogun.

Abeeb said he later confronted Fawas, which led to the fight in the presence of his mother, before she passed away.

The husband of the deceased, Mr Taofeek Adeniran, who was in serious grief, said his wife had called him barely five minutes earlier, asking him to come home to eat, before the tragic incident occurred.

Moments after the heated exchange, Mrs Adeniran reportedly slumped and died.

The case was reported  at Challenge Police Division of The Nigeria Police and later transferred to Iyaganku station, for further investigation.

Reacting to the incident, the Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police, Oyo State Command, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mr Olayinka Ayanlade, said he was yet to be briefed on the case.
