He was quickly overpowered and subsequently taken to the police station.

The youth's father, Elijah says that Toluwani has been a thorn in the flesh of the family and they have done their best to change him to no avail.

According to Elijah, Toluwani started smoking hard drugs at a tender age and whenever he was high, he would descend either on him or his wife, Monica and any of their three children with weapons with the aim to kill.

We asked Pulse readers via poll what they would do with a son like Toluwani in their family.
