A tragic incident occurred in the Sarkin Noma area of Lokoja, Kogi State, where a teenage boy, Abba Yusuf, allegedly stabbed his 60-year-old father, Alhaji Dahiru Yusuf, to death.
According to local residents, the incident took place on Saturday. Alhaji Nuhu Muhammed Bala, the elder brother of the deceased, confirmed the event. He stated that he was at home when his sister called to inform him of the tragedy. “When my sister called me, she said our brother had been killed by his son. I quickly rushed to his residence, only to learn that my brother had already been taken to the hospital,” Bala recounted.
The suspect, Abba Yusuf, has been handed over to the police, while the victim’s wife and their two other children have reportedly fled to an unknown location.
Efforts to contact the Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, SP William Ovye Aya, for further details were unsuccessful, as calls and messages to his phone went unanswered.
The motive behind the tragic act remains unclear as investigations continue.
