A yet-to-be-identified woman and her son, known only as Chukwuemeka, have allegedly beaten a 14-year-old boy named Testimony to d3ath at their home on Delta Street, Ayanre, off Ibiye bus stop, Badagry, Lagos
Punch correspondent gathered that the deceased was reportedly beaten for allegedly misplacing N1000 note given to him by one of the suspects to buy items at the market.
Multiple sources who spoke with Punch correspondent said that the deceased teenager was allegedly beaten for several hours starting at 11 pm on Wednesday, before succumbing to his injuries around 1 am on Thursday.
One of the neighbours who spoke with Punch correspondent on Friday said, “This young boy was beaten to death by his guardians, who were not his biological parents. The neighbours tried to intervene, but the doors were locked from the inside.
“Around 6 am this morning (Thursday), he (the deceased) wasn’t responding to his name, so they rushed him to a nearby hospital. The hospital didn’t have oxygen therapy, so they brought him back home, which aggravated the boy’s condition.
“The woman then called her prayer partners in church to start praying for miracles to happen before the boy finally gave up the ghost. The police came exactly around 5.10 pm on Thursday to pick up the woman, who was the main suspect in the brutalities shown to the deceased.”
