The Ogun State Police Command on Sunday announced that it has uncovered the mystery behind the killing of a legal practitioner, who was slaughtered by his biological son in the Redemption Camp along Lagos/Ibadan Expressway on Tuesday 3rd July around 4 am.

The mangled body of Barrister Charles Ajayi, 60, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, was seen and recovered in a box in a nearby bush at Canaan land Street in the RCCG Camp after he had been killed by his son.

The suspect who is a biological son to the slain lawyer, Tolani Ajayi, a 21-year old 300 level student of Department of History and International Relations of Redeemers University, RCCG Camp Ogun State was arrested on the same day in his father’s residence at about 5.30 pm after the discovery of the corpse and Police preliminary findings.

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 SAN was dumped and 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.

Ogun State Police Command’s spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi revealed that “during 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 late father confronted him for not responding to all the prayer points he (the deceased) was calling and the late 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”.

The exhibits including the knife and cutlass he used in killing his father had been recovered by the Police and the corpse of the SAN had been deposited at a morgue in Sagamu.
