Kwara police arrested Ibrahim Hassan (pictured above) for allegedly murdering his father, Sabi Ibrahim. He was allegedly killed in Ajibesin along Okolowo Ilorin so as to have access to his bank account.

SP Okansanmi Ajayi (the spokesperson for the state police command), confirmed that this was true and said that on August 5, one Aishat visited the police and reported her missing father, aged 90, to the police.

He claimed that Ibrahim, the biological son of the old man who disappeared, was arrested after an investigation.

During the investigation, the suspect confessed to having administered a paracetamol injection mixed with other substances to his father, who became weak and dizzy immediately after the injection, this he did after coming from the bank where he took his father to renew and collect his ATM card. He took the father on a motorcycle he borrowed to convey his father to an isolated uncompleted building and strangulated his father to death. He dug a shallow grave where he buried his father after dispossessing him of the ATM card they went to the bank to collect. ''Ajayi said

According to the police spokesperson, the suspect fled to Kaduna and began withdrawing money from his father's account.

He withdrew a total sum of N59,000. He stated further that the purpose of killing his father was to dispossess him of the ATM card since he already knows the pin. He also sold the borrowed motorcycle and eloped to Kaduna state where he was eventually arrested.

The ATM card and the stolen motorcycle have been recovered.
The suspect would soon be charged to court.''Ajayi added
