Kwara State Police Command yesterday paraded a middle-aged man, Ibrahim Hassan who allegedly killed his 90 years old father, Sabi Ibrahim.
The victim was said to be a retired army corporal.
Hassan allegedly killed his biological father on August 5, 2022 after administering paracetamol injection on the deceased and buried him in a shallow grave inside an uncompleted building.
The spokesman of Kwara State Police Command, Okasanmi Ajayi who paraded the suspect said one Aisha Ibrahim had on August 5, 2022 reported at a police station that her father was missing.
He said that the police resolved to get to the root of the matter following the suspicion over the circumstances of the deceased’s disappearance.
Ajayi added, “Investigation into the matter led to the arrest of one Ibrahim Hassan ‘M’, a biological son of the missing old man. During investigation, the suspect confessed to having administered paracetamol injection mixed with other substances on his father, who became weak and dizzy immediately after the injection.
“This he (the suspect) did after coming from the bank where he took his father to renew and collect his ATM card. He took the father on a motorcycle he borrowed to convey his father to an isolated uncompleted building and strangulated his father to death. He dug a shallow grave where he buried his father after dispossessing him of the Wema Bank ATM card they went to the bank to collect.”
He said the suspect escaped to Kaduna State where he withdrew a total sum of N59,000 from his late father’s bank account.
