Photo: Man Beats Father To Death With Firewood For Attacking Mother In Akwa Ibom State
Feb 12, 2016 – Picture: Man Kills Father For Beating Mother In Akwa Ibom State
Nkefre Archibong, a 25-year-old man has reportedly murdered his father, identified simply as Mr. Archibong, in Ibesikpo Asutan Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
The suspect allegedly beat his father to death with firewood over a squabble between the deceased and his (Nkefre’s) mother (name withheld).
Nkefre, however, said he did not kill his father intentionally. Briefing journalists yesterday at the Command Headquarters in Ikot-Akpanabia, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Cordelia Nwawe, said the suspect would be charged for murder.
However, the suspect told journalists amid tears that he had been abandoned by family and left to fend for himself; going from one place to another to cut palm fruits for survival.
He said that on that fateful day he was going home when he met his father beating his mother over a misunderstanding which has become too frequent in the family. According to him, he hit his father with the stick in his right hand and the man felled down.
The man was said to have been rushed to the hospital but the news came shortly after wards that he had died. “I did not do it intentionally. Please, forgive me,’’ he pleaded with the police.
Meanwhile, the police also unveiled the new operational outfit of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) as well as presented certificates of honour to five policemen for gallantry and commitment to duty.
Addressing members of the special squad, the state Police Commissioner, Murtal Mani, charged them to live up to their billing and ensure that Akwa Ibom people go to sleep with their eyes closed.
He charged the rebranded FSARS to consolidate on its records of ensuring that kidnapping and armed robbery were reduced to the barest minimum in the state. Mani, who later presented certificates of honour to the five recipients, charged them to use the recognition as a mean to spur them to greater commitment to duty.

He must have acted in anger, imagine a father that would not fend for you and still had the guts to be using your mum as a punching bag. May God not let us see evil.

It was not pre-meditated. I don’t think he would be charged with murder. But the pain is that the learning point provided by this news piece is going to waste because wife batterers are not going to make use of it.
Men should try to understand what traumatic experince they force their children through when they beat their wives. No child can put up with that. A 14-year old boy once engaged his father in a heated bone-to-bone in my neighbourhood because of this. It was not bravery on the part of the teenage boy; it was rather frustration. And if any weopon had come in handy, the boy could have used it on the dad.
I plead with men to cultivate self-control. There is no way that a man and his wife can live together without having disgreements now and then. The best way a man can love his children is to love their mother.

this man is really innocent, but the nigeria police will still luk for a way to extort money and brag about how well there are doing their job when the real offenders are going scot free.

So painful, he might have done that because of anger. I believe the father is a wife beater and the boy might have endured a lot which made him to beat the father and mistakenly killed him. Children cannot bear it when their mother is being abused in their presence talk more of beating her.
