Man Stabs & Removes His 74yrs Old Father’s Heart in Lagos
been thrown into confusion after a man, Nelson Oamen,
was said to have stabbed his father, Ehiremen Oamen, to
death during an altercation.
According to PUNCH, Nelson who reportedly fled his father's
apartment in Block 272 after the incident on Friday,
removed the septuagenarian's heart and left with it.
It was gathered that the father, said to be a retired worker in
a company in Apapa, was battling with stroke, and usually
remained indoors.
Oamens, who hailed from Edo State, is now on the run.
PUNCH learnt that 34-year-old Nelson, who did not have a
stable job, was reportedly a drug addict, and had had
violent clashes with people in the area which were reported
to the police.
Our correspondent learnt that at about 2pm on Friday,
Nelson had gone to his father's apartment and an argument
had ensued between the two.
Nelson, who was suspected to be high on drugs, allegedly
stabbed his father to death in his bedroom, and covered his
body with a blanket.
He was said to have sneaked out of the house and had yet to
be found.
Nelson's younger sister, who did not want her name in print,
reportedly came into the house a few minutes later, and
found traces of blood in the family's sitting room.
She was said to have discovered their fater's corpse on his
bed, after which she raised the alarm.
It was gathered that some neighbours and residents, who
also rushed to the room to see Ehiremen, realised that there
was a deep hole on the left side of his chest after he had
been stabbed in several places.
It was said that Nelson allegedly escaped with his father's
heart, which the residents claimed, was responsible for the
bloodstains in the sitting room.
The matter has been reported at the Ipaja Police Division.
Nelson's elder sister, who came from Abeokuta, Ogun State,
and also did not want her name in print, said the family
could not say what caused the argument between her father
and Nelson.
She added that Ehiremen had been physically attacked by
Nelson in the past.
She said, "For about five years now, dad had been nursing a
stroke, and he could not work again. So, he used to stay at
home. Nelson did not have a stable location. He just came
to the area on Friday.
"I was told that he came in through the window before
committing the act. It was his younger sister, who has a shop
in the area, and came in a few minutes later to change her
clothes, who first observed bloodstains in the sitting room.
"She then traced the bloodstains to daddy's room, and found
out that he had been killed. We have not seen any sign of
Nelson since then."
Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor,
said the police were on the trail of Nelson and would soon
get him.
