The family of Clement and Toyin Okhide, who were killed in the Ejigbo area of Lagos State by their son Michael, has begged the media to mind their business as it mourns the dead.
The Okhides were killed by their 23-year-old son, Michael, via stabbing on 4 February. Michael is now on the run.
The family in a statement on Tuesday urged the media to refrain from sensationalism in the reportage of the matter, especially where such reports were based on inaccuracies.
Dr Abiola Odeyinka, Miss Ayooluwa Okhide and Master Stephen Okhide, surviving children of the couple, described the incident as sad and traumatic for the family.
They pleaded for public support and empathy at this trying and difficult period, saying the challenge of drug abuse and mental illness is rife and requires collective action to tackle it.
” This is a sensitive matter for us as we mourn the loss of our dear parents who loved us and gave us the best support any child could ever desire.
“Once again, we are pained by this occurrence and we passionately urge the media and general public to desist from further sensationalising this occurrence,” the statement said.
