A middle-aged man, Kazeem Muhammed, has fled after he killed his father following a dispute in Kwankashe area of Suleja, Niger State.
The sad incident was said to have occurred on Wednesday morning.
It was learnt that Kazeem had been angry with his father for getting married to a second wife for over a year.
According to Daily Trust, a brother to the deceased, Isah, said that soon after killing his father, Kazeem fled.
He said, “The boy is a drug addict and is always involved in bad activities. While they were arguing on Wednesday morning, he carried a plank and hit his father who fell on the floor. Immediately Kazeem noticed that he ran away. We rushed my brother to the hospital, but he died afterwards.”
He further said the matter had been reported to the appropriate authorities while his brother’s remains had been buried according to Islamic rites.
Meanwhile, the police in the area declined comment on the incident.
