Boy Accused of Killing Father Castrates Self
Oluwaropo Tifase, the university dropout who was accused of killing his 75-year-old father, Moses, in the Jakande Estate, Mile 2 area of Lagos State, has removed his testicles while in the custody of the police, Punch reports.
Twenty-two-year-old Oluwaropo, during a chat with punch correspondent at the Lagos Island General Hospital, where he was rushed to for treatment, said he acted under the influence of a spirit which possessed him at the time.
Punch had reported on December 30, 2014 that the Imesi Ile, Osun State indigene, was rusticated from a university in Ondo State, a few years back, for engaging in cult-related activities.
He was alleged to have sneaked into his fatherâs bedroom and stabbed him with a pair of scissors in the neck.
Neighbours, who first discovered the deceased in a pool of blood, were said to have alerted the police at the FESTAC division. The whole family was said to have been rounded up for questioning and after some preliminary investigations, Oluwaropo was detained while the others were released.
PUNCH Metro reported that his mother, 65-year-old Funmilayo, told the police that the suspect once manhandled her during an argument. It was said that he was the last child and only son of the five children of the victim.
The case was later transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, where the suspect was kept in custody.
However, he was said to have used the tiles of the cell to remove his two testicules.
The police at the SCID were said to have rushed him to the Lagos Island General Hospital on Tuesday when the incident happened.
When Punch correspondent visited him in the ward where he was receiving treatment, it was observed that he walked with his legs apart. It was learnt that the doctors at the hospital âstitchedâ the affected area.
After exchanging pleasantries with Punch correspondent, Oluwaropo said he could not explain the reason for his action.
He said, âI got frustrated with my life while in the cell because I was alone and was abandoned there. I didnât see outside of the cell for a long time. A spirit entered into me and said I should do it. So I castrated myself. I removed the two testicles myself.â
Asked if he didnât feel pains while removing the testicles, he replied, âI did.â
It was learnt that Oluwaropo was 17 years old when he was sent out of school for cultism in 400 Level.
Our correspondent asked him if he was a cultist, and why he was rusticated from school.
He said, âI am not a cultist and I didnât kill my dad. It is my mother that keeps telling people that I am a cultist. I studied industrial design in school, but I didnât like the course, so I voluntarily dropped out of school because I discovered my love â computer. I love programming, so, I decided to leave school on my own and pursue my love.â
The Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident.
He said, âYes it happened. He broke the tiles in the cell toilet and used them to cut his testicles. As we speak, he is in the hospital undergoing treatment.â

Hummm, a 17yrs old in 400 level? Ok oooO so how old wr you when you entered the university? . May the soul of ur dead father RIP! You didn’t kill ur dad, then who did?
Hmmm, this boy is really nuts. He needs a psychological help more than food. May his dads soul find peace with God.
I think dis boy is possessed or seriously out of his mind! If he can castrate himself then there’s every possibility that he killed his dad even though he’s saying he didn’t do it
Spirit indeed! He should take responsibility for all his actions please. Spirit ko ,demon ni

I think it is not a phsycological problem. He is insane.
This boy must have taken igbo so much that it has damaged his brain dats y he’s killing & hurting anyhow including himself. They must have over pampered him as d last child& only son now see how he’s behaving.
Self injury is related to psycological malfunction i think he has gone insane
He should first of all seek help with a psychiatrist.
Wonders shall never end.
A spell is on him…it’s nor ordinary!
Hmmm he definitely has a psychological problem
He needs deliverance first before conviction.
