The Ondo State Police Command, Southwest Nigeria, has arrested a 38-year-old man, Nsikak Kingsley, for allegedly beating his father, Adone Peter, to death at Oda Community in Akure South Local Government Area of the state.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abayomi Jimoh, on Thursday.
According to Jimoh, the suspect committed the dastardly act following an argument between him and the deceased that reportedly led to physical assault.
The statement read, “The Ondo State Police Command under the leadership of the Commissioner of Police, CP Felix Ohagwu, has arrested a 38-year-old man, identified as Nsikak Kingsley for his alleged involvement in the death of his biological father, Adone Peter, aged 65 years.
“The tragic incident occurred in Oda Community, Akure South Local Government Area of Ondo State and has generated widespread concern among residents of the area.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that on 28th May, 2026, the suspect allegedly engaged his father in a violent altercation which escalated into a physical assault. During the confrontation, the deceased reportedly sustained severe injuries, particularly to the head. He was immediately rushed to a medical facility for urgent medical attention.
“Sadly, despite efforts by medical personnel, the attending doctor confirmed him dead while receiving treatment.”
He added that the command was able to apprehend the suspects after his brother lodged a complaint at a nearby police station, after which the operatives swung into action.
In 2024, the Police Command in Lagos State detained a 25-year-old man, Chibunnma Chimelie, who allegedly stabbed his 68-year-old father to death.
The incident happened on Thursday at 10:00 p.m. in the Isolo area of the state.
