What sane child would raise hands on their parents no matter what? Unfortunately, we have many of them amongst us, well dressed and living, looking out for who the next victim will be.
This is not to justify what the deceased did, but the point of beating him and sending him into coma calls for disciplinary actions either by the law or traditions.
The fact that their mom made sure they were released from police custody shows something is shady. If they had something reasonable doing, a million Naira is not what they will request for. I can’t imagine the whole investment the parents have made on them by sending them to one of the best private university in the country, only for them to have this kind of mentality.
These boys might get married tomorrow and I have every reason to believe that they will do worse than their father, then when they get caught red handed by the wives, they won’t hesitate to beat her to death.
There are many ways to protect the interest of their mom. Since they decided to blackmail their dad, it only shows how useless they were to their parents. What makes them think their mom isn’t aware that her husband is cheating on her?
I hope the will be used as scapegoats to set the records for many who have carried out such barbaric acts and still intend to, children who feel they can be wild. If they were to be living in a ghetto, they story won’t be the same by now. I hope the deceased gets justice..
Here’s what transpired below.
Emekeme Joseph, popularly known as Semikolo, the Chairman of Covenant Suites, a hotel chain and a Deacon of Winner’s Chapel, is dea d.
Sources said the man fell gravely ill after his sons assaulted him.
It is alleged that the sons who graduated from Covenant University caught their father with a side chick and demanded a million naira bribe, or they’ll inform their mom, who was holidaying in the United States then.
It is said that the father called off their bluff, and true to their threat, they reported the sleazy affair to their mother, who was incensed.
The next day the father dropped by the Coca-Cola depot of the wife, and when the sons saw him, they hounded him out of the place.
According to insiders, he angrily went home and seized the keys to the sons’ cars, which drew their ire, and they descended on him with blows and kicks. He called the police, and the boys broke the head of one of the police officers.
The boys were arrested, and the father was rushed to the hospital. The father’s condition deteriorated quickly, and he was referred to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, where he fou ght for his life.
It was gathered that the wife quickly flew back to the country and facilitated the release of the sons from police custody and strangely discharged the husband against the doctor’s advice from UBTH, where he was in a coma, and brought him home where he died.
