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. Copyright Punch NG. http://www.punchng.com/news/man-stabs-removes-74-year-old-fathers-heart/

Now killed father nd ran away with the heart..
SCHIZOPHRENIA!!!

When apprehended, this will be his explanation:
This is my second time of existence on heart. This my father was responsible for my death in the first life and that's why I've come deliberately as his son in this second life. I purposeful removed his heart so that he won't be able to come to life again.


Nb: this exact situation once played out in the psychiatry department of an hospital where I was during my posting back then, nd that was d explanation of d mentally ill son.

An eye for an eye or the law of retaliation , is
the principle that a person who has injured
another person is penalized to a similar
degree, or in softer interpretations, the victim
receives the [estimated] value of the injury in
compensation.
The principle is sometimes referred using the
Latin term lex talionis or the law of talion.
The English word talion (from the Latin talio
means a retaliation authorized by law, in
which the punishment corresponds in kind and
degree to the injury.

Attach some level of sense.
