How Man Killed His Dad, Burnt His Body And Put Many Stones To Cover The Well So No One Will Discover It— Usman

A strange incident has emerged from Aku Village in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, following the alleged killing of a scrap dealer inside his own home.

The account was given by Hon. Nasiru Usman, who spoke about the death of Jude Thaddeus, a man well known in the community for his scrap business.

Usman said the person accused of carrying out the act was not a stranger to the victim, but a young man the deceased had taken in and related with like a son.

He shared the details in a video interview that was aired by Arise TV.

According to Usman, the first information about the incident came from a Divisional Police Officer in the area.

How The Police First Got Involved

Usman explained that the officer told him the police were looking into the possibility that the young man had taken the life of the older man.

The officer was also said to have told him that the body was believed to have been placed in an unused well located behind the house where the victim lived.

Usman, who was at the scene in his capacity as a representative of the Karu LGA chairman, said he decided to go and see things for himself.

On getting there, he said what he found confirmed the troubling report he had received from the police.

He stated that the remains found in the well had been set on fire, in what appeared to be an effort to hide what had happened.

What Was Found At The Well

Usman also stated that the opening of the well had been blocked with a large number of stones.

He said the stones appeared to have been placed there deliberately, so that passersby would not notice anything unusual or raise an alarm.

Speaking in the video, Usman recalled the officer’s words to him about the suspected killing and the dumping of the body behind the house.

He also recalled what he personally observed when he arrived at the compound, including the condition of the body in the well.

He further recalled the attempt to cover up the incident by piling stones over the well.

According to him: “The DPO narrated to me that they are suspecting someone killed his father and threw him into a dry well at the back of his house.

When we came we went there and saw how he burnt the body of his father. They put so many stones to cover the well so that no one would discover what was there”.

The revelations have left residents of Aku Village in shock, as many struggle to understand how a relationship built on trust could end in such a tragic manner.
