21 year old Redeemers university student kills dad with a machete

Tolani Ajayi, 21, has been taken into custody by operatives at the Ogun State Police Command for
allegedly killing his father, Mr. Charles Ajayi,
(SAN) at the Redemption along the Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway in the early ours of July 3.
Confirming the gory incident, the state  Police Public
Relations Officer,  Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Sunday said the remains of the deceased lawyer was found 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.

According to reports from PUNCH, the suspect who is a 300-Level student of the Department of History and International Relations of Redeemer 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."
