A primary school teacher, Mr Patrick Ekpenisi, has allegedly brutalised his parents over a parcel of land offered for sale by the father in the Ika North-East Local Government Area of Delta State.
The 78-year-old father, Benson Ekpenisi, who hails from Owan-Nta Aliosimi, said he and his wife had suffered untold hardship in the hands of their son, Patrick.
Narrating their ordeal, Benson stated that trouble started when Patrick learnt that he planned to sell a piece of land to repair the leaking roof of his house and settle to take care of their needs.
Benson said that was not the first time that Patrick would beat up his parents and accused the Owa Oyibu Divisional Police Station of complicity as nothing had been done about the earlier reported cases.
He called on the state government and other relevant authorities to quickly come to his aid before Patrick would kill him and his wife.
Another son of the distraught parents, David, said Patrick lifted his father up and threw him to the ground several times and tried to kill him by hitting his head on the palm tree he was sitting under, but the old man managed to escape.
David stated, “I am speechless. For over three years, Patrick, a primary school teacher, has never allowed my parents to rest.
“I am calling on the AIG, the DPO of Owa-Oyibu, the NUT Ika North-East and the governor of Delta State to come to our aid. Patrick boasted countless times that he is above the law.”
When contacted, Patrick accused his parents and siblings of selling over 85 plots of land in order to travel abroad. Punch
