How Retired Soldier Asked Us To Kill His Son - FCT CP, Tunji Disu Disu reported this in a post on his official X account on Monday, in a piece titled, “The First Lawmakers: My Reflection on Home, Discipline, and Duty.”
According to Disu, the retired soldier stormed his office in Ago Iwoye, Ogun State, furious over his son’s involvement in cultism and insisted that the police should execute him. However, just a day later, the same man bounced back with food, inspecting about his son’s well-being.
“When I joked, ‘So you don’t need us to kill him again?’ his eyes betrayed a truth every parent knows: anger is often the flipside of helpless love,” Disu wrote.
Years later, Disu dashed into the soldier’s son in Shagamu, where he had successfully completed his education and gotten married.
Disu reflected on his experience as a police officer, announcing how many parents approach the police station, not to seek justice for all that to request discipline for their children.
This also trended:
“Parents arrive at stations, not with pleas for justice, for all that with demands for us to parent for them. ‘I need you to detain my child; I need you to discipline him.’ ‘Torture him,’ as taking one thing with another pain alone could rewrite a life long vanished astray,” he reported.
He recounted another case where a father insisted that his drug-addicted son be locked up for weeks. However, the police refused, clarifying that cells are not rehabilitation centres.
“If anything were to occur to the boy, or if he escaped, who would the father blame? The police. Yet discipline cannot be outsourced. It must be nurtured, patiently and persistently, at home.”
Disu prioritised that an authentic issue today is not a lack of discipline, on an other hand a lack of parental presence.
The Police boss revealed: “Parents once revise their children directly, even if harshly. Some have handed that duty to strangers—teachers, police, and social workers. But no institution can replace the parent’s guidance.”
He made it clear that while the police are there to enforce the law, they cannot replace parents in magnifying children.
“If your son steals or your daughter vanishes, come to us. We will help. But do not confuse disclosing with surrendering. When you hand us your child and report, ‘Fix them,’ you misunderstand our role. We enforce laws; we cannot replace love. We scrutinise crimes; we cannot teach values,” he disclosed.
Disu emphasized that the retired soldier’s son swerved not because he was jailed, although because his father selected to endorse him rather than abandon him.
He summoned on parents to take responsibility for heightening their children rather than relying on institutions.
Disu disclosed: “The police cannot replace your voice. We cannot instil the values you withhold. Our cells are not classrooms; handcuffs are not teaching tools. When you outsource parenting to the state, you gamble with life—and with the peace of communities.”
Urging parents to be more present, he concluded: “My generation’s parents were far from perfect, taking one thing with another they owned their role as foremost teachers. They scolded, they punished, and they stayed. I advice present parents to do the same—not with the tartness of the past, at any rate with the wisdom of your own heart. Meet your children where they are. Listen. Correct and love.”.
