Photo: Mother Who Tortured, Abandoned 9-Year Old Boy Arrested

    Blessing Goodluck, the mother, who
    on Thursday tortured her nine-year-old son, Kingsley, and dumped him at a
    filling station on Ijaiye Road in the Agbado area of Lagos, has been
    apprehended by the police.
    Punch Metro gathered that the
    police trailed the 23-year-old mother to Ojuelegba, where the son claimed they lived,
    without success.
    It was learnt that she was
    eventually traced to a residence on Sule Babalola Street, Agbado.

    The mother, who admitted her
    action was wrong, said she was frustrated, describing her son as being
    troublesome.
    She said, “I have realised that I
    over-reacted. Kingsley is very stubborn and troublesome. He won’t sit at home.
    He will be jumping from one house to another. I was frustrated. I promise it
    will never happen again. I have learnt my lesson.”
    A police source told Punch Metro
    that Blessing wept all night in custody. The source said Kingsley had also been
    counselled to turn a new leaf.
    The Lagos State Police Public
    Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, said Blessing was still under
    interrogation and would be charged to court afterwards.

    He said, “This is a case of child
    abuse. The 23-year-old mother was arrested on Sule Babalola Street, Agbado. The
    boy was abandoned in a bad condition. He was treated at the Lagos State General
    Hospital, Ile Epo. The mother is under interrogation.”
