Olanrewaju Kayode-Aremu an 18 years
old boy , who was recently arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for
stabbing his 46-year-old father, Victor Kayode-Aremu, to death has said he does
not regret his action.
The native of Kwara State added that
he decided to stab his father to death because he could not lay his hands on
poison or a gun which he would have used to kill his father
It had been reported that the
suspect was a Geology student of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, but was
asked to leave the school due to his poor grades.
The suspect, who is currently being
detained at the state Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, said he killed
his father for many reasons.
He said killing his father was a
mistake but he still had no regrets.
Olarenwaju said one of the reasons
why he killed his father was that his father forced him to study Geology even
though he did not like the course.
He said, “My father used to maltreat
me and my mother was aware of this. Sometimes he would not give me food or
money. He sent me to University of Ilorin but I did not get the course I
wanted. I was admitted to study Geology but I wanted to study Biochemistry.
“My father forced me to go to the
school and after I failed, the school asked me to leave. I started working with
my father afterwards and I used to follow him to work. He did not want to send
me to school anymore.”
Narrating what happened on the day he
killed his father, Olanrewaju said he had complained to his parents that he was
not feeling too well but they had ignored him.
He said it was in the usual behaviour
of his father to maltreat him, adding that he decided to vent his anger on his
father
He said, “On that day that I killed
my father, I was ill and I told my parents but they ignored me. I do not really
know what came over me. I took a knife and followed my father upstairs and
stabbed him repeatedly. He ran downstairs and I chased him downstairs and
stabbed him once more.
“My mother saw me when I stabbed him
to death but she did nothing.”
Asked why he decided to kill his
father in such a gruesome manner, he said, “I could not get poison or a gun.
That was why I stabbed him.”
Olanrewaju, who is the first of five
children, said his father married a second wife and this had strained the good
relationship the family once had.
He said on several occasions, his
father had sent him out of the house because he hated him, stressing that he
had reported to relatives but no one ever listened to him.
Olanrewaju said he killed his father
because he believed he would not be arrested due to his young age. He said he
thought the murder would be treated as a family affair.
He lamented that since his arrest,
family members, including his mother, had refused to visit him.
He said, “My mother has not come to
visit me since I was arrested. I want her to get me a lawyer. I am still very
young. I killed him because I wanted to be free. I did not know I would be
arrested. I thought nothing would ever happen to me.
“I am not happy in detention and I
want the police to release me; I have suffered enough. I am not happy in the
cell.”

ReplyDeleteNice comment
DeleteI think this boy has a spiritual problem, just look at the statement he made,killing him will not solve the problem but let God decide. 13
ReplyDeleteI am a journalist and the first if not the only that has interviewed Lanre. The 18year old boy is regreting every action of killing his dad, he can't even give a concret reason for his behaviour. He is a very brilliant and respectful boy,even his mum confirmed that Lanre is a very gentle boy. The widow like me believes that he was possessed by an evil spirit. Lanre during the interview was almost in tears,he said he is missing his mum and wished the Judge will forgive him so he can go assist his mum in fending for his siblings because he knows the burden will now fall on his mum. The interview was in Daily Newswatch, will post the date shortly and you can google folake sokoya's crime stories to read the interview.
ReplyDeletePlease check Monday May 20 of Daily Newswatch newspaper for the full details of the Interview I had with Olanrewaju Kayode.Thank you.

DeleteThe mistake has been made Ƴυ̲̣̥ ve †̥o face the consequences alone Ãήϑ remember †̥̥ ҉ ask God fƠ̴̴̴̴͡я̲̅ forgiveness.
ReplyDeleteIn ds age and era, a boy of 18 will kill his father and be asking for pardon? That's rubbish. He is heartless and its only natural that he suffer for his heinous crime. He is not a minor, he is a young man and he shuld be treated as such.
ReplyDeleteVery sad story,so cofused to d fact of nt knowing wot to say
ReplyDeleteThe boy's mother need 2 repent. B/cos de Devil used her 2 scatter de family. And finaly de poor man.

ReplyDeleteWat a pity! D young man looks innocent in appearance.who will ever believe He can be a monster.I think he needs deliverance.we don't need 2 pass judgement becos judgement is waiting 4 him on d last day for taking life he did not create.
ReplyDeleteAccurate judgement should be gIven
ReplyDeleteBoy rot in jail, my pity is for d junior 1 dey will be missing support frm father nd mother now cus their mum has no rest of mind 4now
ReplyDeleteI've no doubt that the Boy in question is suffering 4rm some Psychological disorder. 4 me such events are lessons to be learn 4rm. Too many at-times we fail to see such disorders and thereby mistake them 4 stubborness.
ReplyDeleteMay God help us All...
his is what polygamy causes. The boy must have been brain washed to hate his father and kill him, beliving nothing would happen to him. Most times when there is constant disagreement between a husband n wife the kids ( the onlookers) are more affected than we think and sides are taken depending on which parent we prefer. This is Ϟö† the first time such a thing has happened in the world. The boy would be punished but he should also undergo mental rehabilitation. The mother did Ϟö† do well to stand by and watch her son stab his father to death the woman should be arrested and charged as an accomplice, she must have been aware of the boy's intentions to kill his father. Her jealous rage will cause her n her son much suffering and their name is forever tarnished.
