When  journalists visited the house at Sabo, the son was said to be on sedative and tied in a room to prevent further violent act while the deceased was also kept in another room.

One of the sources, who preferred anonymity said: “Baba became ill and the boy was arguing with him because he is a drug addict who takes dangerous substances and whenever he takes alcohol, he causes trouble.

“His father decided  to take him to a church for deliverance alongside his brother, he even bought another alcoholic drink on the way to church and when Baba came back he complained that he wasn’t feeling fine and he was taken to hospital where he was confirmed dead.

“As a parent, the father was not happy that the boy smokes Indian hemp and so much had been spent on him. He was ready to take him to a psychiatric hospital but for lack of finance. That was why he took him to a church.”

Although arrangement was ongoing to bury the deceased who was said to be a  Muslim but a family member said they were still waiting for other siblings based outside the state.
