How a spirit told me to murder my Dad – 35 year old heartless son opens up

October 1, 2015

Thirty-five-year-old Nelson, who stabbed his
father, Sunday Oamen, to death, in Abesan
Estate, in the Ipaja area of Lagos State, has
explained why he did it! Oamen, who is
currently being detained at the State
Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba,
told PUNCH Metro on Wednesday that he had
smoked four wraps of Indian hemp before
committing the crime.
He faulted his parents for not giving him
enough training, adding that he hated them
for always talking down on him.
You will recall that last week Monday that
Nelson, a suspected drug addict, stabbed his
75-year-old father to death on Friday,
September 23.
It was reported that the deceased, a retired
worker in a company in the Apapa area of the
state, was battling with stroke and always
stayed indoors at the time of the incident.
Nelson was reported to have sneaked into the
house and stabbed his father to death with a
broken bottle.
He was said to have covered his corpse with a
blanket and fled the house.
Residents say the suspect, who always
fomented trouble in the community, escaped
with the heart of his father. On Wednesday
however, the suspect voluntarily turned
himself in to the police.
During a chat with PUNCH Metro, Nelson said
he surrendered himself to the police because
he lost his peace after killing his father.
The Edo State indigene said he had always
fought with his father before things went awry
on the fateful day.
He said, “I am the fourth child in a family of
eight children. I have had several fights with
my dad in the past. There was a time I
confronted him that I had been going through
a lot of challenges in life and I needed help,
but he said I should sit at home and he would
be feeding me. I was angry because he wanted
me to be dependent on him and I needed to
fend for myself.
“My parents knew that I smoke hemp and it
sometimes affected my behaviour. They asked
me to quit it, and I did for some time. People
advised them to take me for medical care, but
they said they did not have the money.
“I became addicted to hemp about six months
ago. On Thursday night, a day preceding the
incident, I had gone to a joint where I smoked
four wraps of hemp. I bought each for N50.
“On Friday, around 11am, I was sitting outside
the house when I started feeling restless and a
spirit told me to go inside and kill my father. I
went in through the window and when I got to
where he was lying, I stabbed him in the neck
and chest.”
He said after committing the act, he ran away
because he was overcome with guilt.
Nelson, who dropped out of primary school,
denied removing his father’s heart, adding that
after killing his father, his eyes became opened.
“The spirit that pushed me to kill my father
began to tell me that I will not have rest until I
report myself to the police. When I could no
longer bear it, I decided to report to the police.
“It is not my fault. Whenever I talk to my
parents, they always scolded me. And
sometimes, I felt they were not my parents. I
killed my father because he always chastised
me and because I lost control of my senses.
“If I get out of this mess, I will surrender my
life to Jesus. But if not, I resign myself to
fate,” he added.
