32-Year Old Nigerian Mad Man, Kills Father, Then Self
A man identified to be mentally deranged, Lekan Adediran, has reportedly stabbed his octogenarian father, Pa Lawrence Adediran, to death in Efon Alaye in Efon Local government Area of Ekiti State.
After killing his 80-year-old father, Lekan, 32, was said to have killed himself using the same broken bottle with which he stabbed his father to death.
The suspect’s elder brother, Ojo Adediran, who reported the case at the Efon Divisional Police Station, said his brother was mentally infirmed and that he committed the offence at about 9:45pm on Monday.
Briefing newsmen in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Ekiti Command, DSP Caleb Ikechukwu, said the corpses of the two victims had been deposited at the morgue of General Hospital at Efon Alaaye.
Ikechukwu revealed that the brother of the deceased-cum-suspect told the police that his late brother had a mental challenge, which he said the family had been battling to resolve.
He said: “Lekan’s brother personally approached the police station in Efon to report how his brother killed their 80-year old father with a broken bottle and also killed himself after succeeding in his devilish act.
“Their corpses are presently at Efon General hospital for autopsy. However, the police had been able to maintain peace and orderliness in the town.
“We are not resting on the accounts rendered to the police by the victim’s brother alone. We are still going to conduct investigations to ascertain the veracity of the claim and the reason behind the killing and the subsequent suicide option taken by Lekan”, the PPRO stated
Court Dismisses Case Against Senator Adeleke
The presiding judge, Justice David Oladimeji, dismissed the case on Wednesday for lack of merit, as the plaintiffs failed to prove their allegations against him.
Justice Oladimeji held that although the document submitted by the lawmaker has some irregularities, the court cannot stop him from contesting the election.
On July 3, the plaintiffs, Mr Rasheed Olatunji and Mr Idowu Oluwaseun, approached the court contending that the PDP candidate was not eligible to participate in the primary election of the party.
According to them, Senator Adeleke did not possess the minimum educational qualification required.
The plaintiffs, however, prayed the court to set the result of the PDP primary election aside.
Argentina's Ex- Vice President Jailed 6 Years For Coruption
The charges related to his attempt to buy a money-printing company through a front business. Boudou was in power during the administration of former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
The ex-president herself has been summoned to give evidence in another wide-ranging corruption investigation next week.
Both say they are victims of political persecution by the current President, Mauricio Macri.
Boudou was accused of lifting a bankruptcy declaration against currency company Ciccone Calcográfica in return for an equity stake when he was economy minister in 2010, before becoming vice-president.
The court in Buenos Aires found him guilty of committing passive bribery and conducting business "incompatible with public office".
He has been banned for life from holding public office, and is expected to appeal against the conviction.
The company's former owner Nicolás Ciccone was also given a four-and-a-half-year sentence
