Babalola
24-year-old young man identified as Bakare Babalola Rotimi Jnr, who was deported from Republic of Ireland some months ago, and stabbed his father to death,
and also inflicted stab wounds on his mother at their home in Magodo,
Lagos state on Sunday, December 4th, has made some shocking confession.
Speaking at the Nigerian Police Force Comman in Ikeja on Tuesday,
Babalola who allegedly got deported from Ireland because of his drug
addiction, told newsmen, disclosed that he carried out the dastard act
because his parents wanted to kill him and use him for ritual.
He added that he was angry that his parents kept him locked up in the house and claimed that his father used "juju" to bring him back to Nigeria.
He said:
“My father got what he deserved. He started it all. I was
living in the United Kingdom when he used black magic to bring me back
to Nigeria and he locked me up in the house. I don’t know what they
intended to do with me. They called some native doctors to do some
rituals with red oil which they kept in my room. The native doctors made
some incisions on my body and since then, I have not really been myself
and I have been seeing strange things and hearing strange voices.
"As a religious person, I resorted to God and was praying for
my freedom but each time I tried to escape, my father will call area
boys who will beat me up with reckless abandon. The intimidation was too
much and I was looking for any means of escape. One day, I escaped from
my room to the kitchen and I took two kitchen knives which I hid in my
pocket for protection.
"On that fateful day, while my mother was cooking in the
kitchen, I greeted her but she started raining abuses on me. I knew
there was trouble because she always beats me whenever she is angry. I
went to my father too and he started raining curses on me. When I asked
what the problem was, he started beating me and as I was tired of his
beating, I dipped my hand in my pocket and brought out the knife and
stabbed him in the leg.
"When he wanted to disarm me, I stabbed him in the stomach and
he fell down and my mother started shouting. I threatened her to give me
the key to the door so that I can leave. She refused and I stabbed her
too. They started it all. They wanted to use me for ritual. I regret my
actions anyway but if they did not bring me back to Nigeria, I would
have still been in the UK,” he said.
