Must read

A young university drop out, Oluwaropo Tifase, aged 22-year-old had castrated himself in police custody after he was accused of killing his 75-year-old father, Moses, in the Jakande Estate, Mile 2 area of Lagos State.

The boy who hails from Imesi Ile, Osun State was alleged to have stabbed his father on the neck with a pair of scissors in his bedroom on the fateful day of the incident.

According to Punch reports, neighbours, who first discovered the deceased in a pool of blood, were said to have alerted the police at the FESTAC division.

Police operatives arrested him and took him to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, where he eventually removed his two testicles with tiles out of frustration.

The police at the SCID were said to have rushed him to the Lagos Island General Hospital on Tuesday, January  20, 2015 when the incident happened.

Moreover, his 65-year-old mother, simply identified as Funmilayo, told the police that the man who was her only son once manhandled her during an argument.

Speaking about his actions, Oluwaropo who admitted to feeling pains said, “I got frustrated with my life while in the cell because I was alone and was abandoned there. I didn’t see outside of the cell for a long time.

“A spirit entered into me and said I should do it. So I castrated myself. I removed the two testicles myself.”

Refuting the claims of being a cultist, Tifase who was 17 years old when he was rusticated from school for cultism in 400 Level said, “I am not a cultist and I didn’t kill my dad. It is my mother that keeps telling people that I am a cultist.

“I studied industrial design in school, but I didn’t like the course, so I voluntarily dropped out of school because I discovered my love ─ computer. I love programming, so, I decided to leave school on my own and pursue my love.”

While confirming the the state Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu said, “Yes it happened. He broke the tiles in the cell toilet and used them to cut his testicles. As we speak, he is in the hospital undergoing treatment.”
