A woman in Efon Alaaye, Ekiti State, yesterday vandalised about 20 vehicles.

The woman, Olubu Alaure, is in her mid-30s. It was learnt that she took a cutlass around 4:30 am and broke the windscreen of about 20 cars.

She also vandalised a shop and its contents, including unused recharge cards.

Alaure was holding the cutlass and pacing the area, when residents woke up around 6 am.

She resisted attempts to collect the cutlass from her, but later succumbed. A resident, Mr. Awopetu Femi, owner of a red Gulf 4, said: “People came to inform me that something had happened to my car around 6 am. When I rushed down, I met this. I don’t know what I can do. This is a woman I have seen so many times and never suspected that she has a problem. This car is less than a month old.”

Miss. Stella Ajayi, owner of a Mazda 626, said: “I have stayed here in this house with Alaure for years. Nothing like this has ever happened. But she started behaving funny last week. She took a tyre and attempted throwing it at me. When she threatened to beat me up, I ran out, but she ran after me. She took a substance that was smelling like human waste and splashed it on me. But somehow, I let the experience pass.”

Alaure’s uncle, Mr. Samuel Adetunsin, said she has been mentally unstable for about 15 years.

He said: “When she finished primary school, she followed a man to Lagos, where she reportedly beat up a woman. Since then, she has been unstable. Because of her condition, her mother has been very sick in the past five years.”

Chairman, Efon Local Government, Mr. Joel Omoniyi said the council’s welfare department would handle the issue.

He said: “We all can see that she is a threat to peace in the town. We cannot leave her like this. The social welfare section will be mandated to come for her immediately.”

Around 10:30 am, four policemen from Efon Divisional Police Station drove her away in a van.
