The Lagos State Police Command has launched an investigation into a tragic incident involving a 25-year-old man, Chibunna Chiemelie, who is accused of fatally stabbing his 68-year-old father at their home on Oba Kabiru Street in Isolo, Lagos.
Chiemelie was taken into custody following an alert from a neighbor of the victim, who reported the incident to the Aswani Police Division.
According to the spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the suspect confessed to the crime after his arrest.

Upon arriving at the residence, the complainant discovered his father’s body lying in a pool of blood, prompting him to involve law enforcement. Police were dispatched to the location, where they found a blood-stained knife near the deceased. Investigators documented the scene, and the victim was quickly transported to the General Hospital in Isolo, where he was later declared dead.
Chiemelie was apprehended shortly thereafter, and during questioning, he admitted to murdering his father. The victim’s remains have been sent to the mortuary at the General Hospital, while police continue to investigate the case.
