Saratu burnt the boy’s private parts with
a stove after he was accused of stealing
N100.
The young boy, who is a primary four
pupil in a private school, lived with the
lady in the Afariogun, Oshodi area of
Lagos. It was gathered that Saratu’s
neighbours reported the matter to a
coordinator of the Child Protection
Network, Mr. Ebenezer Omejalile, living in
the area, who in turn took the matter to
the police. The matter was reported at
Makinde Police Division, Oshodi, and she
was arrested.
Speaking with Punch, Mr Omejalile said
the victim had been taken to a hospital
for a checkup while the police had
charged the lady – Saratu – to court.
He said, “The victim is her nephew. The
boy attends a private nursery and primary
school around Afariogun Junction. He was
accused of stealing the money in the
school.
“The woman brutalised the boy’s genitals.
While we were at the police station, I also
informed the Lagos State Domestic and
Sexual Violence Response Team, Alausa. I
am sure justice will be done in this
matter. The boy has been taken into
government’s custody.”
