Residents of Abesan Estate
in the Ipaja area of Lagos
State have been thrown into
confusion after a man,
Nelson Oamen, stabbed his
father, Ehiremen Oamen, to
death during an altercation.
PUNCH Metro gathered that
Nelson, who reportedly fled
his father’s apartment in
Block 272, after the incident
on Friday, removed the
septuagenarian’s heart and
left with it.
Our correspondent learnt
that the Oamens, who hailed
from Edo State, had been
living in the estate for over
15 years.
It was gathered that the
father, said to be a retired
worker in a company in
Apapa, was battling with
stroke, and usually remained
indoors.
PUNCH Metro learnt that 34-
year-old Nelson, who did not
have a stable job, was
reportedly a drug addict, and
had had violent clashes with
people in the area which
were reported to the police.
Our correspondent learnt
that at about 2pm on Friday,
Nelson had gone to his
father’s apartment and an
argument had ensued
between the two.
Nelson, who was suspected
to be high on drugs,
allegedly stabbed his father
to death in his bedroom, and
covered his body with a
blanket.
He was said to have
sneaked out of the house
and had yet to be found.
Nelson’s younger sister,
who did not want her name in
print, reportedly came into
the house a few minutes
later, and found traces of
blood in the family’s sitting
room.
She was said to have
discovered Ehiremen’s
corpse on his bed, after
which she raised the alarm.
It was gathered that some
neighbours and residents,
who also rushed to the room
to see Ehiremen, realised
that there was a deep hole
on the left side of his chest
after he had been stabbed in
several places.
It was said that Nelson
allegedly escaped with his
father’s heart, which the
residents claimed, was
responsible for the
bloodstains in the sitting
room.
Our correspondent gathered
that the matter was reported
at the Ipaja Police Division.
When PUNCH Metro visited
the area on Saturday, a
crowd of sympathisers was
observed thronging the
deceased’s apartment.
Nelson’s elder sister, who
came from Abeokuta, Ogun
State, and also did not want
her name in print, said the
family could not say what
caused the argument
between her father and
Nelson.
She added that Ehiremen had
been physically attacked by
Nelson in the past.
She said, “For about five
years now, dad had been
nursing a stroke, and he
could not work again. So, he
used to stay at home. Nelson
did not have a stable
location. He just came to the
area on Friday.
“I was told that he came in
through the window before
committing the act. It was his
younger sister, who has a
shop in the area, and came
in a few minutes later to
change her clothes, who first
observed bloodstains in the
sitting room.
“She then traced the
bloodstains to daddy’s room,
and found out that he had
been killed. We have not
seen any sign of Nelson
since then.”
A landlord in the area, Akeem
Salau, who described the
deceased as an easy-going
man, said he was praying in
the mosque at about 2pm,
when the news of Ehiremen’s
death filtered in.
He said, “The man has eight
children. Nelson is the fourth
child. The young man does
not have any stable job. He
also smokes and drinks
heavily. He does not live
here, but only comes once in
a while.
“On that Friday, some people
saw him in the afternoon.
The people who saw him said
he was unstable. He went
into their house, and it was a
few minutes later that they
found the father dead. He
fled immediately. When I went
in to see the corpse, I
observed that the old man
was stabbed in several
places. No one could have
been so wicked except one
was on drugs.”
Our correspondent gathered
that the police in Ipaja had
launched a manhunt for
Nelson.
The Lagos State Police Public
Relations Officer, DSP Joe
Offor, said the police were
on the trail of Nelson and
would soon get him.
