The Police Command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has arrested a 16-year-old boy for allegedly killing his father.
The Commissioner of Police (CP) in the FCT, Mr Haruna Garba, disclosed this at a media briefing on Friday in Abuja.
“It all happened when the suspect’s mother and father engaged themselves in a physical fight.
“The suspect took side with his mother and used mortar pestle and hit hard on the father’s head which eventually led to his death.
“The suspect will be arraigned in a juvenile court at the conclusion of investigation,” he said.
Meanwhile, Garba said the command’s anti-kidnapping outfit had in a clearance operation rescued 14 people, including the Village Head of Chida in Kwali Area Council, who were abducted on April 7.
According to him, 10 of the victims with mild symptoms of illnesses were treated in Abaji General Hospital and discharged to their families.
