Oh dear, this dad is so cruel!
A father has allegedly beaten his four-year old son to
death, padlocking his mouth to prevent him from
shouting while the beating lasted.
The incident occurred on Monday afternoon at 7,
Adetola Adelaja Street, Meiran area of Lagos,
southwest Nigeria.
P.M.NEWS gathered that the man, Mr. Chris Elvis,
who claims to sell computer accessories, allegedly
locked his son, Godrich in the room, padlocked his
mouth and beat him to death with an object that
inflicted deep cuts all over his body, claiming that the
boy was an Ogbanje (evil child that dies and
reincarnates repeatedly).
The man landed in trouble when his landlady, Mrs
Popoola who was in the market, was informed that
something was happening in her house. She rushed
home and discovered that the boy had been beaten to
death by his father.
She rushed to Meiran Police Station to report the
matter. The police stormed the house around 9
O’clock last night to arrest Elvis who was about to
escape.
After allegedly killing the boy, he locked him in one of
his rooms. He told the police that nothing happened
but when the police forced the locked room open,
they found the dead boy with padlock in his mouth.
The police at Meiran took the boy’s corpse away and
deposited it at the Ota General Hospital, while the
man was detained and would be transferred to Area
‘M’ Police Division in Lagos later for further
investigation.
After the incident on Monday, the police also arrested
the landlady who came to report the matter at the
police station and detained her till Tuesday morning,
while allegedly demanding for N50,000 to bail the
innocent woman.
A tenant in the house, Apostle Freedom Damian said
Elvis had been a strange man in the house as he do
not talk to anybody and was always keeping to
himself and nobody could ask him questions.
He described the murder of the boy as gruesome and
cruel.
Tenants living in the same compound with Elvis
never knew his name and could not tell P.M.NEWS
reporter his name because he does not interact with
people.
