34-year-old Nelson who is allegedly known as a drug addict,
who stabbed his father, Sunday Oamen, to death and took
his heart, in Abesan Estate, in Ipaja, Lagos has been
arrested and detained at the State Department of Criminal
Investigation, Yaba.
Sunday said he had smoked four wraps of Indian hemp
before committing the crime and confessed that he killed
his father because he always scolded him. He blamed his
parents for not giving him enough training, adding that he
hated them for always been condescending towards him.
On Wednesday, the suspect voluntarily turned himself in to
the police.
Nelson said he surrendered himself to the police because he
lost his peace after killing his father.
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 remorseful.
He added:
“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,”

Even though he has been arrested, a police source said the
suspect’s family are reluctant to prosecute him.
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.”
