A middle-aged man, Kazeem Muhammed, is on the run after killing his father during a dispute in the Kwankashe area of Suleja, Niger State.

It was learnt that Kazeem had been angry with his father for getting married to a second wife for over a year.

A brother to the deceased, Isah, told our reporter 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.
