According to him, he was reading his book in their compound when something suddenly came over him and asked him to kill his father. He went on to say he regained his senses after he committed the said act.
But wife of the deceased, Mrs Mary Ejeh a Cross River-based business woman, who admitted she was not around when the incident occurred, said the deceased had given N1000 to the suspect for cooking but he used it for his school expenses which annoyed the father, leading to a heated argument between the deceased and his son.
