An 18-year-old boy, Olalekan Adetoyinbo, who resides in the
Irojo neighbourhood of Ilesa, Osun, on Wednesday killed his 56-year-old father,
Mr Ayodele Adetoyinbo.
The incident occurred on Wednesday evening, while the boy
had since been arrested by the police for interrogation.
The suspect, on returning from school, had a heated argument
with his father, who had accused him of stealing some empty containers.
The boy reportedly hit his father on the head with broken
concrete blocks and the man could not recover from the injury inflicted on him.
The man was reportedly rushed to a nearby hospital, where he
died.
DSP Folashade Odoro, the Police Public Relations Officer
(PPRO) in Osun, who spoke on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, Mrs Dorothy
Gimba, confirmed the incident to newsmen in Osogbo on Friday.
Odoro said that the suspect was arrested by a team of police
detectives attached to the Police ‘B’ Division in Ijamo, Ilesa, for murder,
adding that the boy had made a confessional statement to the police.
“Argument ensued between the boy and his father; he hit his
father’s head with cement blocks and the man sustained serious injury on his
head which led to his death,” she said.
The PPRO said that the police commissioner had since ordered
a full-scale investigation into the incident, adding that the matter would
later be referred to the court for prosecution. [NAN]
