The Ogun State Police Command has apprehended one Tolani Ajayi, 21, for allegedly killing his father, Mr. Charles Ajayi(SAN), at the Redemption Camp, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in the early hours of July 3.
A verbal expression by the Police Public Relations Officer in the command, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Sunday verbalized the body of Ajayi, 60,was recuperated in a bush at Canaan Land Street, RCCG Camp, in a box where the body was kept after the Senior Advocate of Nigeria was killed by his son.
The suspect, verbally expressed to be a 300-Level student of the Department of History and International Relations of Redeemer University, located at the Redemption Camp, Mowe in Ogun State, was picked up by the police in his tardy father’s residence at about 5.30pm on Thursday after what the police described as preliminary findings.
The command’s verbal expression read in part, “The DPO, Redemption Camp, SP Olaiya Martins, had led a team of detectives and some members of the community, who descried the peculiar posture of the suspect while dumping a box, to the point, where the body of the tardy SAN was dumped.
“They thereafter traced the ground marks of the dragged box from where the suspect dumped the dad’s corpse to the house of the Senior Advocate of Nigeria,where they met the suspect in a relaxed mood. Upon interrogation, the suspect earlier prevaricated that his dad had gone on evangelism afore he eventually confessed to the malefaction when he was taken to the Redemption Camp Divisional Headquarters.
“He verbally expressed further that the quandary arose when his father confronted him for not responding to all the prayer points he(the deceased) was calling, claiming that the father slapped him. He verbally expressed he went ‘mad’ and picked up a knife from the kitchen to stab him(father) and later a cutlass to cut his throat.”
