The Edo State Police Command has arrested a man identified as Theophilus Osazuwa for allegedly killing his four-year-old son.
According to The PUNCH, the command said Osazuwa was suspected to have committed the act while under the influence of hard drugs.
The spokesperson for the command, Moses Yamu, revealed in a statement on Wednesday night that the incident, which resulted in the death of the four-year-old boy, occurred at about 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
He stated that Osazuwa had just returned to his apartment at Ogbeson Quarters, off Benin-Agbor Road in Benin City, when he suddenly fell into a trance.
While in a trance, the suspect reportedly screamed, “Holy Ghost fire,” grabbed the four-year-old boy, and slammed him against the wall, resulting in the child’s death.
