21-year-old Arrested For Killing Father At RCCG Camp

A 21-year-old student of the Department of History and International Relations, Redeemer’s University, RCCG Camp, Ogun State, Tolani Ajayi has been arrested by the 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.

Redemption Camp DPO, Olaiya Martins who led a team of detectives and some members of the community to the scene traced ground marks of the box from where it was dumped to the house of the suspect. The corpse was traced to the house of late Barr. Ajayi, where they met the suspect relaxing.

The suspect, who had earlier lied that his dad had gone on evangelism, however, confessed to the crime after he was taken to the Redemption Camp Divisional Headquarters for interrogation.

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.

Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Ikemefuna Okoye sympathised with the family of the deceased, particularly his wife, who is also a legal practitioner and other children, urging them to take solace in the Lord.

He also admonished other members of the community in RCCG to be watchful, adding that, such incident will not occur again as the Command will improve on the synergy between the police and the Internal Security Operatives of the RCCG.

A team of detectives led by the officer in charge of Homicide section of the Department of Criminal Investigation, Eleweran, Abeokuta has been sent by the commissioner to further investigate the murder.

  1. The problem with privilege kids is that they don’t know they are privileged… What makes this moron think his father was his problems? Now he is goint to rot in jail. He will appreciate it that he was privileged than most of his contemporaries…

    And forever he will live with the guilt of killing his father, a Senior Advocate. And i pray his mom, (because she’s a mom) does not help him come out. Let him rot in jail before he kills her or his siblings…

  2. Abomination! Satanic! Immorality! This is indeed a sacrilege to a christian home or/and christianity in general. Where is trace of our 1st moral lesson “Honour your father and your mother…….. And you parents do not get your children angry”. Holy Lord, forgive us our sins. Father and Mother are lawyer?, And are of a (dedicate) christian home?, and (supposed) members of RCCG?. A student of a christian based University? No! Not up-bringing. This is a demonic attack.
