Boy, 18, kills father with concrete blocks in Osun

An 18-year-old boy, Olalekan Adetoyinbo, who
resides in the Irojo neighbourhood of Ilesa, Osun, on
Wednesday killed his 56-year-old father, Mr Ayodele
Adetoyinbo.

The incident occurred on Wednesday evening, while the
boy had since been arrested by the police for
interrogation.

The suspect, on returning from school, had a heated
argument with his father, who had accused him of
stealing some empty containers.

The boy reportedly hit his father on the head with broken
concrete blocks and the man could not recover from the
injury inflicted on him.

The man was reportedly rushed to a nearby hospital,
where he died.

DSP Folashade Odoro, the Police Public Relations Officer
(PPRO) in Osun, who spoke on behalf of the
Commissioner of Police, Mrs Dorothy Gimba, confirmed
the incident to newsmen in Osogbo on Friday.

Odoro said that the suspect was arrested by a team of
police detectives attached to the Police 'B' Division in
Ijamo, Ilesa, for murder, adding that the boy had made a
confessional statement to the police.

"Argument ensued between the boy and his father; he hit
his father's head with cement blocks and the man
sustained serious injury on his head which led to his
death," she said.

The PPRO said that the police commissioner had since
ordered a full-scale investigation into the incident,
adding that the matter would later be referred to the
court for prosecution. (NAN)
