The suspect, who had earlier lied that his dad had gone on evangelism, however, confessed to the crime after he was taken to the Redemption Camp Divisional Headquarters for interrogation.
In his confession, the suspect stated that problem arose when his father confronted him for not responding to all the prayer points he raised, forcing his father to slap him. Infuriated by his father’s action, the suspect said he went straight to the kitchen to pick up a knife to stab him and later a cutlass to cut his throat.
The murder weapons had since been recovered by the Police and the corpse of Barr. Ajayi had been deposited at a morgue in Sagamu.
Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Ikemefuna Okoye sympathised with the family of the deceased, particularly his wife, who is also a legal practitioner and other children, urging them to take solace in the Lord.

He also admonished other members of the community in RCCG to be watchful, adding that, such incident will not occur again as the Command will improve on the synergy between the police and the Internal Security Operatives of the RCCG.
A team of detectives led by the officer in charge of Homicide section of the Department of Criminal Investigation, Eleweran, Abeokuta has been sent by the commissioner to further investigate the murder.
In the same vein, somewhere in a place called Lugbe, a satellite town in Abuja, Nigeria. A man has hacked his friend of many years to death over Nine Million Naira (9,000,000.00) profit. These two had been friends for many years. Close friends and business partners. I gathered that the deceased was the financier in their business venture, while the murderer does the prospecting. They were into the property business in Abuja. Greed pushed the murderer to kill his friend in other to keep all the proceeds to himself. Mr. Murderer lured his friend to a nearby bush and killed him in cold blood. What will be the fate of the deceased's pregnant widow and that of her four months old baby? So much for friendship!
