300l Student Of Redeemer's University Kills His Father At The Redemption Camp

The Ogun State Police Command has arrested one Tolani Ajayi, 21, for allegedly killing his father Mr. Charles Ajayi, (SAN) at the Redemption along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in the early ours of July 3.






A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer in the command, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Sunday said the shared body of Ajayi,60,was
recovered in a nearby bush at Canaan Land Street in the RCCG Camp, in a box where the body was kept after the Senior Advocate of
Nigeria was killed by his son.





The suspect, said to be a 300-Level student of the Department of History and International Relations of Redeemer's University, located at the Redemption Camp in Ogun State, was picked up by the police in his father's residence at about
5.30pm on Thursday after what the police described as preliminary findings.





The command's statement read in part, "The DPO, Redemption Camp, SP Olaiya Martins, had led a team of detectives and some members of
the community, who noticed the strange attitude of the suspect while dumping a box, to the point,
where the body of the late 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 in the house. Upon
interrogation, the suspect earlier lied that his dad had gone on evangelism before he eventually
confessed to the crime when he was taken to the Redemption Camp Divisional Headquarters.




"He stated further that the problem 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 said he went mad and went straight to the
kitchen to pick up a knife to stab him and later a cutlass to cut his throat and killed him."
