How Man Allegedly Kills Father For Refusing To Buy Motorcycle

The Ondo State Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man, Sunday Abilewa, for allegedly murdering his father, Abu Abilewa.

Sunday reportedly strangled his father after the latter refused to buy him a motorcycle.

According to the police, the incident took place on December 31, 2024, at Eberi Quarters in Isua Akoko, the headquarters of Akoko South East Local Government Area.

On Friday, Sunday was arraigned before a magistrate’s court in Akure and subsequently remanded in a correctional facility for the alleged crime. Prosecutor Inspector Abdulateef Suleiman told the court that the suspect had requested a new motorcycle from his father, but the request was denied.

“This led to an argument, and in the process, the defendant grabbed the neck of his father, which resulted in the deceased’s death. Efforts of the defendant’s mother to rescue the deceased proved abortive as the defendant was under the influence of hard drugs,” he said.

The prosecutor stated that the incident resulted in Abdulateef’s death and that the offence violated Section 316 and is punishable under Section 319 of the Criminal Code, Cap 37, Vol. II, Laws of Ondo State, 2006.

However, Sunday’s plea was not taken as the magistrate court lacked jurisdiction to handle the murder case.

The case was adjourned to February 25, 2025, for mention.

The prosecutor requested that the defendant be remanded in a custodial center pending legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

In her ruling, Magistrate F.A. Akinboboye ordered Sunday’s remand in prison custody until the DPP’s advice is received.
