regret his action. The suspected killer a native of Kwara State added that he decided to stab his father to death because he could not lay his hands on poison or a gun which he would have used to kill his father.
the suspect was a Geology student of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, but was asked to leave the school due to his poor grades.
The suspect, who is currently being
detained at the state Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, said he
killed his father for many reasons.
He said killing his father was a mistake but he still had no regrets.
Olarenwaju said one of the reasons why
he killed his father was that his father forced him to study Geology
even though he did not like the course.
He said, “My father used to maltreat me
and my mother was aware of this. Sometimes he would not give me food or
money. He sent me to University of Ilorin but I did not get the course I
wanted. I was admitted to study Geology but I wanted to study
Biochemistry.
“My father forced me to go to the school
and after I failed, the school asked me to leave. I started working
with my father afterwards and I used to follow him to work. He did not
want to send me to school anymore.”
Narrating what happened on the day he
killed his father, Olanrewaju said he had complained to his parents that
he was not feeling too well but they had ignored him.
He said it was in the usual behaviour of his father to maltreat him, adding that he decided to vent his anger on his father
He said, “On that day that I killed my
father, I was ill and I told my parents but they ignored me. I do not
really know what came over me. I took a knife and followed my father
upstairs and stabbed him repeatedly. He ran downstairs and I chased him
downstairs and stabbed him once more.
“My mother saw me when I stabbed him to death but she did nothing.”
Asked why he decided to kill his father
in such a gruesome manner, he said, “I could not get poison or a gun.
That was why I stabbed him.”
Olanrewaju, who is the first of five
children, said his father married a second wife and this had strained
the good relationship the family once had.
