“Investigation led to the arrest of one Ibrahim Hassan, a biological son of the missing old man.

This he did after coming from the bank where he took his father to renew his automated teller machine (ATM) card, took the father on a motorcycle he borrowed to convey him to an isolated uncompleted building and strangulated him there.

“After that he dug a shallow grave where he buried his father after dispossessing him of the Wema Bank ATM card they went to the bank to collect.

“He  escaped to Kaduna State and started withdrawing from his late father’s account; he withdrew N59,000.

“He said the  purpose  of killing his father was to dispossess him of the ATM card since he already knew the PIN.

“He also sold the borrowed motorcycle and fled to Kaduna state where he was eventually arrested,” the police spokesman said in the statement.

The ATM card and the stolen motorcycle have been recovered.”

The police spokesperson said that the “suspect would soon be charged to court.”
