Man Stabs His 74 Year Old Father, Removes His Heart - See What He Did With It

Residents of Abesan Estate in the Ipaja area of Lagos State have been thrown into confusion after a man, Nelson Oamen, stabbed his father, Ehiremen Oamen, to death during an altercation. Nelson, who reportedly fled his father’s apartment in Block 272, after the incident on Friday, removed his father’s heart and left with it. 

The Oamens, who hailed from Edo State, had been living in the estate for over 15 years. The father, said to be a retired worker in a company in Apapa, was battling with stroke, and usually remained indoors. The 34-year-old Nelson, who did not have a stable job, was reportedly a drug addict, and had had violent clashes with people in the area which were reported to the police.

At about 2pm on Friday, Nelson had gone to his father’s apartment and an argument had ensued between the two. Nelson, who was suspected to be high on drugs, allegedly stabbed his father to death in his bedroom, and covered his body with a blanket. He was said to have sneaked out of the house and had yet to be found.

Nelson’s younger sister, who did not want her name in print, reportedly came into the house a few minutes later, and found traces of blood in the family’s sitting room. She was said to have discovered Ehiremen’s corpse on his bed, after which she raised the alarm.

Nelson’s elder sister, who came from Abeokuta, Ogun State, said the family could not say what caused the argument between her father and Nelson.

“For about five years now, dad had been nursing a stroke, and he could not work again. So, he used to stay at home. Nelson did not have a stable location. He just came to the area on Friday.

“was told that he came in through the window before committing the act. It was his younger sister, who has a shop in the area, and came in a few minutes later to change her clothes, who first observed bloodstains in the sitting room.

She then traced the bloodstains to daddy’s room, and found out that he had been killed. We have not seen any sign of Nelson since then.” She said.
