TOLANI
Ajayi has given an insight into why he carried out a savage attack on his
father, Charles Ajayi (SAN), saying unless providence helps him, his end is
“inevitable.”
The young
Ajayi (21) stabbed his father repeatedly using a kitchen knife and also slashed
his throat with a machete until he died.
his throat with a machete until he died.
Tolani, a
300-Level student of Department of History and International Relations of the
Redeemer University (RUN) Ogun State, said yesterday he was driven by fit of
anger to kill his father last Thursday inside the Redemption Camp along
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
His
father’s remains were recovered in a nearby bush at Canaanland Street within
the RCCG Camp, where he dumped them after he had hacked the man to death.
“My father
went to the kitchen and fetched a wooden spoon. He used it to beat me
repeatedly and I tried to defend myself. Then he bit me on my shoulder and I
got angry. I used normal small kitchen knife. Later, I used cutlass to attack
him. I regret the action. I have sent some people to talk to my mother
that I am sorry. I have talked to my sister. My mother is still grieving; I
want to give her time. It may be spiritual. I have asked for forgiveness. I tried
those drugs myself; I might have had it from my friends, but I tried it
myself. I was not under the influence of any drugs and the action was not a
planned one. There is no way Nigerians can help me. I am
going to face my judgment. I am meant to pay for what I have done. It is not as
if I am ready. It is something that is inevitable; something that is going to
happen. I am just waiting for the time. It is not
about church; I attended the church activities regularly while in school.
I had missed church throughout this semester. I never missed church for
once. It is not about the church, but only God knows why.”
