Son Kills Father For Advising Him Against Smoking Hemp

Mr. Christopher Onu was attacked by his son, Ikenna Onu at his home in Aguabosi village in Ugwuoba community, Oji River Local Government Area of Enugu State at the weekend.

State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the incident said the deceased who was a farmer, had shortly after returning from farm on July 4, 2014 called his son, Ikenna, to his room where he advised him to desist from smoking indian hemp in order to avoid ruining his life.

The old man was said to have slumped immediately and bled to death.

The police spokesman said that the suspect was arrested and now being detained at the Criminal Investigations Department of the State Police Command in Enugu.

He said that investigations had commenced into the gruesome murder of the farmer whose corpse had been deposited at General Hospital mortuary Oji River for autopsy. [Vanguard]

  1. I tell you the world is indeed coming to an end,imaging that,it’s unheard of…! Children with the kind of company they keep,they associate theirself with @ their tender age.I’m sure something must have led him to that or some of colleagues because the man (his father)must’ve been telling to quit the habit long before the incident and him under the influence of drug. You know the way they reason “This man is making life too difficult for me.He nags all the time & the next is to cease him from breathing (kill) Maybe is the best solution.Parents should really watch the kind of friends their children keeps both in school & everywhere.Most expecially @ home,among their siblings,the way he or she treat them.”To Children: desist from bad habit.Bad company spoils good reputations as the saying.To parents:Inbibe in them with the word of God & pray for them all the time.Be their friend & share your experiences with them as in life experiences.
