You must have read the story about 21
year old Redeemer University undergrad
who hacked his father,a lawyer and Senior
Advocate of Nigeria,sliced his corpse and
dumped the remains in a box.
According to
Premium Times,Tolani said his father
provoked him by beating him with a stick;
and that he needed no help from
Nigerians.He said...
There is no way Nigerians can help
me. I am going to face my judgement.
I am meant to pay for what I have
done. It is not as if I am ready, it is
something that is inevitable –
something that is going to happen; I
am just waiting for it.“
My mother is
still grieving. I have sent some people
to talk to her that I am sorry. I want
to give her time. I have talked to my
sister. I have asked for forgiveness,”
When asked whether he had been under
the influence of drugs, the suspect
confessed that he took drugs but denied
being under the influence on the day of
the murder. He said his action was not
planned.
“The incident happened around 1 a.m.
when the church would have been
sleeping by then. It was anger that led
me to this. There was an argument
between us and I stood up to him. He
beat me with a stick and bit me with
his teeth repeatedly. Just the two of us
were at home; my mother was in
Abuja,”
Tolani said his father was the one that
first went to the kitchen to get a wooden
spoon which he used to hit him repeatedly.
He confessed that he actually used a kitchen knife and cutlass to attack his father
“I tried to defend myself, then he bit
me on my shoulder and I got angry. I
used normal small kitchen knife then
I used a cutlass to attack him. I regret
the action,”
Tolani said it his family resides in Abuja
while he lived at the Redeemed Church,
RCCG, camp.
“My father came for a programme;
then, my school was on break so I
went to meet him. We were meant to
go back to Abuja together then the
incident happened and I am here,”
He told journalists that contrary to
previous reports, the altercation was not
based on his church attendance.
“I didn’t miss church throughout this
semester. I never missed church for
once. It is not about the church.”
