of Ogun State, a suspected drug addict ran amock and
killed his father, Baba Basirat.
Daily Sun reports that the incident occurred when the middle-aged man whose name could
not be ascertained as at press time, allegedly pushed down his
69-year-old father during an argument.
Baba Basirat was said to have fallen, collapsed and died instantly.
On Wednesday morning, the suspect again went wild and vandalised a
blue Honda Accord with registration number Lagos, AGL 763 AQ which
belonged to his brother-in-law. He was later over-powered, given some sedatives and bound hands and legs.
In a bid to cover-up the incident from the police and the public,
journalists who rushed to the scene of the crime were attacked by family
members.
Daily Sun gathered that a scuffle had occurred between the father and
his son at the entrance when the former took him to church on Tuesday
for deliverance from drug addiction.
It was during the scuffle between them that the son pushed his father
who collapsed and was later confirmed dead at a private hospital.
The 65-year-old man who was an indigene of Ogbomoso, Oyo State was
said to have been rushed to Mercy Hospital in the Onikolobo area of
Abeokuta where he was confirmed dead.
When our reporter visited the scene, the killer son was said to have
been put on sedative and kept in a room with hands and feet tied. The
corpse of his father was also being kept in another room.
“As a parent, the father was not happy that the boy smokes Indian
hemp and so much has been spent on him and he was not ready to take him
to psychiatric hospital because of finance, that was what took them to
the church before he came back and broke the wind screen of a car
belonging to his brother-in-law.”
