A man has died after his own son cut him out to pieces because he urged him to pray, police in Nigeria said.
Ogun State Police in Nigeria said that they have already arrested the 21-year-old Redeemer’s University student after being accused of killing his father.
This incident happened at the Redemption Camp, located along the Lagos Ibadan highway on Tuesday morning.
The body of 60-year-old attorney Charles Ajayi, was found in a bush near the road. Tolani Ajayi was just arrested on the same day at his father's residence.
People who saw the suspect carrying a strange box along the side of the highway, called the cops. During police questioning, the suspect first denied the murder.
Later, he admitted to committing the felony. He also told police that he became angry because his father slapped him for not joining a prayer session.
He said that he went crazy and went straight to the kitchen to get a knife. Investigators said that they recovered the knife and a machete at the scene of the crime.
