(Ghana-must-go) in her possession, which included various personal
effects, charms and beverages.

When interrogated, Florence broke down debunking she’s a mad woman.
According to her, the dead boy is the last of her three children. She
told newsmen how she had come to Lagos to find help so as to take care
of her son’s health which was to no avail.
The Lagos born suspect, who claimed she is from Umo in Kwale area of
Delta State, narrated she did not have any relatives in Lagos. When
asked by passersby at the Oshodi/Apapa Expressway around Mile 2, the
woman could not provide neither her husband’s phone number nor any
relative’s.
Although policemen have taken the woman away for further
investigations, the woman did not however escape being beaten by the
crowd. But for the prompt response of the men of the police force, she
could have been set ablaze.
