Siblings Kill Father For Locking Their Mother Inside Police Station
Residents of Numan town in Adamawa State have been thrown into mourning following the alleged killing of a businessman by his two sons in the early hours of Saturday.
The deceased, popularly known as Ogar ThankGod, was reportedly strangled by his sons, aged 23 and 25, at about 1 a.m. on January 3 at his residence in the Gwe-da-Mallam neighbourhood of Numan.
According to neighbours, one of the suspects is identified simply as Joshua. The two brothers allegedly fled the scene immediately after the attack, scaling the fence of the house before residents could intervene. As of the time of filing this report, the suspects were said to be at large.
A neighbour, Falimo Vanco, suggested that the incident might be connected to an earlier domestic dispute between the deceased and his wife, who is the mother of the suspects.
Speaking emotionally, Vanco said, “My heart bleeds. We woke up to this terrible incident in our area. May the Almighty deliver this generation and save our children.”
She added that the remains of Ogar ThankGod were later evacuated by operatives of the Numan Divisional Police Headquarters.
When contacted, the spokesperson of the Adamawa State Police Command, SP Suleiman Nguroje, said he would obtain full details of the incident from the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Numan. However, as of the time this report was filed, no further information had been provided.
