It was learnt that a Tolani Ajayi a 21-year-old 300 level student of the Redeemer University, Department of History and International Relations has been arrested for murdering his father, Barrister Charles Ajayi, 60, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
Tolani was said to have entered an argument with his father over issues that ensued during a prayer session.
This led to the father slapping him and in response Tolani stabbed his father, slit his throat with a cutlass and dumped the body in a nearby bush.
However, some members of the community who noticed the strange attitude of the suspect while dumping a box, contacted the the DPO Redemption Camp, SP Olaiya Martins who led a team of detectives to the point where the body of the SAN was dumped and thereafter traced the ground marks of the dragged box from where the suspect dumped the dad’s corpse to the and met the suspect in a relaxed mood.
On interrogation the suspect lied that the father went for evangelism but later confessed that he actually killed his own father.
The exhibits including the knife and cutlass he used in killing his father had been recovered by the Police and the corpse of the SAN had been deposited at a morgue in Sagamu.
