Lagos State Police command has launched manhunt for one Michael Okhide who stabbed his Father, Clement and Mother to death in Ejigbo area of Lagos.

Investigation revealed that Michael was in the house with his parents when argument developed between them which led him stabbing both to death and escaped.

The 23 year old man also attacked his sister, a youth corps member who returned from place of primary assignment.   

Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, who confirmed the incident said that corpses of Clement and his wife were taken to the Isolo General Hospital.

Elkana said, “On Tuesday, February 4, 2020, around 6.00 p.m., I was alerted that a young man, Michael Okhide, 23, had killed his father, Clement Okhide, 60 and suspected to have seriously injured his mother at No 6 Akeem Gbadamosi Street. When our men were mobilised to the scene, we found Clement, dead in a pool of his blood in the kitchen. Blood was also seen all over the kitchen and a thorough search of the house led to the discovery of the remains of Clement’s wife, Toyin, 50, in one of the locked-up rooms upstairs.

“Two corpses were recovered and deposited at the Isolo General Hospital’s mortuary. The assailant equally stabbed his sister, Mary, in the stomach and on the hands. She has visited the Ejigbo Health Centre where she received treatment. A manhunt has been launched to arrest the fleeing assailant.”

Michael’s sister, Mercy, stated that when she got home, she saw bloodstains in the house, adding that her brother allegedly attacked her but she escaped with injuries.

She said, “When I got home around 5.30 p.m., I met the entrance door open and saw blood on the net. The door to the kitchen was also open. When I entered into the kitchen, I saw that there were bloodstains everywhere and I became scared.

“As I was leaving the kitchen, I heard my mummy screaming my name that I should run, and immediately, I saw Michael came where I was and I saw bloodstains on him.

“He told me to come inside and I refused, so, both of us started struggling and he stabbed me in my stomach and my hands but I was lucky that the cut was not deep.

“He wanted to prevent me from escaping but I was lucky to escape and he ran back inside and later I heard that he ran away and locked the gate with a padlock.”
