A tragic incident occurred in Osubi, Delta State, where a man named Iseleto reportedly stabbed his 23-year-old son, Miracle, to death. The conflict that led to this gruesome act arose when the son attempted to improve family dynamics by renting a separate apartment for his father’s wife and himself, which seemingly angered Iseleto. In a shocking turn of events, after luring his son into a nearby bush under false pretenses, the father allegedly attacked him multiple times with a dagger.

After the attack, the son, despite being severely injured, managed to crawl towards the road where he was found by passersby who rushed him to a local hospital. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter, revealing details about the betrayal before his death. This incident not only highlights the severity of domestic conflicts but also raises significant concerns regarding family violence in Nigeria, especially as similar cases have been on the rise.

The suspect's immediate flight from the community post-crime further complicates the matter, as it suggests a deep sense of guilt or fear of repercussions. Reports indicate that Iseleto acknowledged his crime in a phone conversation with his step-daughter and subsequently made threats against his wife and step-daughter, hinting at the potential continuation of domestic violence beyond this tragic incident. The case is a grim reminder of the urgent need for better conflict resolution strategies within families and the societal responsibility to address domestic abuse.
