A 61 year old man Joshua Okafor has been arrested by the Abia state police Command for shooting his 24 year Old son to death.

The father of the deceased disclosed “ i killed him because he joined a cult group, if I don’t take that decision now he will sooner or later be a threat to the society.

To me I believe i took the right decision because after i heard he joined cultism, i sat him down, talked to him as a father, but he slapped me and said if I don’t leave him alone he will be the one to kill me, I don’t know what came over him, I don’t know who brainwashed him but I won’t watch while he goes around taking someone else’s life.

If I don’t stop that now, there is no day his rival won’t kill his siblings, there is no day he won’t turn to an armed robber, just few days ago, he raped a 16 year old girl, he was arrested for stealing a generator, last week as well he stabbed a fuel attendant and was locked up for 4 days.

For how long will I continue to be in and out of police station just because of him, i need to put an end to the bad life he chose so peace could reign in my home and in the society, He added.
