There was palpable tension as a woman reportedly threw her two daughters into a well at Koledowo, Ibuaje Area of Osogbo, Osun State.

Dailypost reported that the incident occurred on Monday afternoon on Anjorin Street, Ibuaje Area, Osogbo,

Though details of the incident were sketchy as of the time of this report, sources from the community said the middle-aged woman reportedly threw her daughters in the well owing to her inability to cater to their welfare.

The woman according to the sources dropped her first daughter, aged 7 years and her younger sister, aged 5 years into the well in the community at about 2:00 pm.

Speaking incoherently, the mother of the children revealed that she was residing overseas before she was later deported.

She also added that she discovered that the destinies of her daughters have been tampered with when she was away from home, a development that led to her tossing them into the well.

As at the time of filing this report, police officers had been called to the scene of the incident while efforts were being made to recover the corpses of both girls.

The dead girls were yet to be recovered or removed from the well as at press time.
