Firstclass newsline learnt that 35-year-old Nelson, who stabbed his
father, Sunday Oamen, to death, in Abesan Estate, in the Ipaja area of
Lagos State, has said he did it because his father always scolded him.
Oamen, who is currently being detained at the State Department of
Criminal Investigation, Yaba, told a source on Wednesday that he had
smoked four wraps of Indian hemp before committing the crime.
He faulted his parents for not giving him enough training, adding that
he hated them for always talking down on him.
A source had reported last week Monday that Nelson, a suspected drug
addict, stabbed his 75-year-old father to death on Friday, September
23.
It was learnt that the deceased, a retired worker in a company in the
Apapa area of the state, was battling with stroke and always stayed
indoors at the time of the incident.
Nelson was reported to have sneaked into the house and stabbed his
father to death with a broken bottle.
He was said to have covered his corpse with a blanket and fled the house.
Residents told firstclass newsline that the suspect, who always
fomented trouble in the community, escaped with the heart of his
father.
On Wednesday, a source reported that the suspect voluntarily turned
himself in to the police.
During a chat with firstclass newsline, Nelson said he surrendered
himself to the police because he lost his peace after killing his
father.
The Edo State indigene said he had always fought with his father
before things went awry on the fateful day.
He said, "I am the fourth child in a family of eight children. I have
had several fights with my dad in the past. There was a time I
confronted him that I had been going through a lot of challenges in
life and I needed help, but he said I should sit at home and he would
be feeding me. I was angry because he wanted me to be dependent on him
and I needed to fend for myself.
"My parents knew that I smoke hemp and it sometimes affected my
behaviour. They asked me to quit it, and I did for some time. People
advised them to take me for medical care, but they said they did not
have the money.
"I became addicted to hemp about six months ago. On Thursday night, a
day preceding the incident, I had gone to a joint where I smoked four
wraps of hemp. I bought each for N50.
"On Friday, around 11am, I was sitting outside the house when I
started feeling restless and a spirit told me to go inside and kill my
father. I went in through the window and when I got to where he was
lying, I stabbed him in the neck and chest."
He said after committing the act, he ran away because he was overcome
with guilt.
Nelson, who dropped out of primary school, denied removing his
father's heart, adding that after killing his father, his eyes became
opened.
"The spirit that pushed me to kill my father began to tell me that I
will not have rest until I report myself to the police. When I could
no longer bear it, I decided to report to the police.
"It is not my fault. Whenever I talk to my parents, they always
scolded me. And sometimes, I felt they were not my parents. I killed
my father because he always chastised me and because I lost control of
my senses.
"If I get out of this mess, I will surrender my life to Jesus. But if
not, I resign myself to fate," he added.
Our correspondent learnt that the police would soon charge the suspect
to court for the offence.
But a police source said the suspect's family was becoming hesitant in
giving their full support to the prosecution.
He said, "Some members of the family want him to face the consequence
of his action, but they are also considering the implication on their
mother who had become old and might not want to suffer double
tragedies.
"However, the police will prosecute him. It is a straightforward murder case."
