300L Redeemer University Student Murders Father at Redemption Camp Over Prayer-point Disagreement

21 year old Tolani Ajayi, a 300-Level student of the Department of History and International Relations of Redeemer University, has been arrested for allegedly killing his father Mr. Charles Ajayi, (SAN) at the Redemption along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in the early ours of July 3, #Vanguard reports.

A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer in the command, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Sunday said the shared body of 60-year-old Ajayi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, was recovered in a nearby bush at Canaan Land Street in the RCCG Camp, in a box where it was kept after he was killed by his son.

“The DPO, Redemption Camp, SP Olaiya Martins, had led a team of detectives and some members of the community, who noticed the strange attitude of the suspect while dumping a box, to the point, where the body of the late SAN was dumped.

“They thereafter traced the ground marks of the dragged box from where the suspect dumped the dad’s corpse to the house of the Senior Advocate of Nigeria,where they met the suspect in a relaxed mood in the house. Upon interrogation, the suspect earlier lied that his dad had gone on evangelism before he eventually confessed to the crime when he was taken to the Redemption Camp Divisional Headquarters.

“He stated further that the problem arose when his father confronted him for not responding to all the prayer points he(the deceased) was calling, claiming that the father slapped him. He said he went mad and went straight to the kitchen to pick up a knife to stab him and later a cutlass to cut his throat and killed him.”
