Ogun State Police Command for killing his father on Tuesday, July 3rd, PMNews reports.

The body of Barrister Charles Ajayi, 60, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, was found at a nearby bush at Canaanland Street at the Redeemed Christian Church of God Camp, Km 46 Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The suspect was arrested the same day at his father’s residence, scene of the incident, at about 5:30 p.m. after the discovery of the corpse and Police preliminary findings.

traced to the house of late Barr. Ajayi, where they met the suspect relaxing.

In his confession, the suspect stated that problem arose when his father confronted him for not responding to all the prayer points he raised, forcing his father to slap
him. Infuriated by his father’s action, the suspect said he went straight to the kitchen to pick up a knife to stab him and later a cutlass to cut his throat.

The murder weapons had since been recovered by the Police and the corpse of Barr. Ajayi had been deposited at a morgue in Sagamu.
