Residents of Langbasa, Ajah, Lagos State are still talking about 18-year-old Olanrewaju Kayode-Aremu, who stabbed his father, Victor Kayode-Aremu, to death.

Police authorities said the suspect stabbed his 46-year-old father to death while the man was attempting to enter his room.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Olanrewaju was a student of University of Ilorin, Kwara State, but was expelled because he had poor grades.

A police source at Langbasa Divison, where the suspect was detained, told our correspondent that the incident occurred on May 1, 2013.

He said, “Olanrewaju is the first of five children. He lived with his parents and siblings in a duplex in Langbasa. He was enrolled in University of Ilorin to study Geology in 2011 but was later asked to withdraw because he had very poor grades.

“Since he was not attending any school, he started working with his father who was a civil engineer. The arrangement his father made with him was that he would be working with him until he could get admission to another school.”

The senior officer told our correspondent that the suspect was not happy about the arrangement. He said the frustration later led him to laying an ambush for his father while he was trying to enter his room.

He said the suspect stabbed his father in 10 different places, causing him to bleed to death.

He said, “Around 10pm on that day, the whole family had just had dinner and they were watching television when their father received a telephone call. He went upstairs and when he got to the entrance of the room, Olanrewaju appeared from nowhere with a kitchen knife.

“He stabbed his father in the back, sides, hands, legs over 10 times. The man, who was screaming in pains, attracted the attention of other members of the family who were downstairs. When the mother came upstairs, she found her son still stabbing her husband. The presence of other children did not also stop Olanrewaju.

“When she tried to save her husband, Olanrewaju threatened to stab her if she came close. The woman then went outside and called on neighbours for help.”

PUNCH Metro learnt that it took the intervention of neighbours to overpower the 18-year-old and wrest the knife from him.

It was learnt that the victim was rushed to J-Rapha Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

A resident, who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, said the family had been in shock and had not been staying home since the incident occurred.

He said, “The family is a young one. Olanrewaju is the first born and he had four younger siblings.”

The suspect, who was not remorseful, said he killed his father because he was convinced that his father did not love him.

He said he was not worried about his predicament since he was too young to be prosecuted.

“The case is a very long story. The truth is that my father never loved me and the only form of care he showed me was paying my school fees. I am just 18-years-old so I know I cannot be prosecuted. I have no regrets for my action,” he said.

When contacted on the telephone, the Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said she had yet to be fully briefed on the incident.

and the title of the news said 18year old undergraduate

haa. Stabbing your father to death without remorse? This life is complicated o jare

Father doesn't love you yet he pays ur sch fees even tho you're too dumb to cope. If he only pays his sch fees,theb he shouldn't be having dinner(feeding) with the family nor stayingin thathouse(shelter). For heaven's sake, this guy is too dumb to be in sch and d father offered for him to work in his coy but nay, he prefers to waste his life than do sth good with it.

Ps: adulthood starts frm 18 in Nigeria,right?cos this one is old enough to take responsibilities for his actions

No wonder the dude got poor grades in school. The dude is 18 already and he doesn't know that 18 is an adult in Nigeria according to the constitution of the federal republic.

"He lived in a duplex with his family" I am so sorry for him!!!! The only duplex he's got now is the stinking naija prison.

I feel for the family. May the soul of the father rest in peace.

Different stories everyday, yestaday was abt d man who hid his mother's corpse for 10yrs. 2day na backstabing. Its no longer funny o.

otokx: The father did not train up his child in the way he should go.

YOU ARE WRONG . READ THAT NEWS ONE MORE TIME AND TELL ME IF THE FATHER DID ANY WRONG THING TO HIS FIRST SON. WHAT IS THE BEST THING A FATHER NEED TO GIVE HIS CHILDREN? END TIME BECAREFUL HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE.

First, they should start by checking his brain, then check if he's on drugs. Finally remind him that he's 18yrs already and he's in his resting place for @least 50yrs. 50+18=58. I hope his prison mates would show him that love his father refused to show him.

I feel like backstabbing the boy myself. The boy is an idiot. Is it not some of his agemates that struggle to pay their school fees and cater for themselves? Poor Man!!!! May Ur Soul RIP. Sorry 4 d boy cos his life s already in shambles. Sorry 4 d family 2

Too much movies and indulgence. There are many parents who can't or will never do 1/4 of what this lad's parent did, in terms of education and care. Some parents are even looking for job to cater for the family, yet this fella's parent accommodated (Duplex) and provided job for him pending the time he makes his results.
RIP to the deceased. My condolences to the family.

My word!

He defo got demons controlling his actions, he shud b locked up!

That guy is on drug and by the way, he is a complete dumb, according to naija constitution adulthood starts from 18, i.e once u ar 18 u start being an adult!

I see why this dümb fück got kicked out of school!

The guy is most likely a bastardt

THESE ARE THE PROBABLE CAUSE OF THIS Act.
That Boy must have been on [b]DRUGS
The Man is not his FATHER
He probably must have been controlled by extra TERRESTRIAL Powers
Some Fool!sh Friend might have BRAINWASHED him.

Bast@rd.

lol, extraterrestrial forces!!!! so to all you people, you think insanity is outdated?! the boy is simply CRAAAAAAAAAAAAZY (aka mentally unstable, deranged), and the only cure is to lock him up, throw away the key, or simply hang his crazy aaasss to pay for his crime.

I'd like u all to know that the convict is a boy trained in a Godly environment. The father is a fervent Pastor in one of the parishes of the fastest growing church in nigeria. I really want to tell u that this event only occurred because the convict allowed himself to be used by DEAMONS. The son was useful to the DEVIL as instrument against the Father who is a pastor to truncate the destiny of the Pastor. Pastor Aremu is someone who feared God and encouraged others to do thesame. My only prayer for him is to make heaven at last so he can finally rest in peace. Adieu Pastor Aremu. Rest in Peace. Ur teaching and sermons we will never forget. RIP.

^^nonsense! as if crazy people allowed themselves to be used by the devil......aka be crazy! why is it always on Sundays that we have so much religious crap like the above post!

Na wa o
All these wickedness against parents
The other had the body of his missing mother in a cupboard and this one stabs his father to death
Not my portion IJMN

U saw my post and u commented on it as NONSENSE u aren't sound in ur sense of judgement course from my post u should be able to grab the central idea which is still relevant to the topic in question. U've got to watch urself too o. Besides I didn't send that post on a sunday but sent it in on monday 20th may. U are so annoying.
