SHOCKING: How 17-Year-Old Boy Beat Grandmother to Coma in Delta

Obus Felix, a 17-year-old secondary school dropout, reportedly beat his 65-year-old grandmother, Alice Onome, till she lost consciousness in the Abraka area of Delta State on Wednesday.

According to Punch, an eyewitness, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Onome had returned from the farm and discovered that the firewood and N20,000 she set aside for the preparation of her grandchild’s thanksgiving ceremony were missing.

She accused her grandson of stealing the money, and this got him irritated.

While searching for the lost items, Obus was indifferent, and Onome reportedly rained curses on whoever made away with her money.

It was gathered that the suspect later walked in drunk and angry, and an argument ensued.

The argument degenerated into physical assault and the teenager allegedly beat his grandmother to coma.

The eyewitness, who is a neighbour, said, “The woman fell down and started foaming in the mouth before she slipped into unconsciousness. She was then taken to a nearby hospital where she was resuscitated.”

Police officers at the Abraka Police Division, who preferred to be anonymous, confirmed the incident, adding that Felix was arrested while trying to escape. They added that the suspect confessed to the crime during interrogation, claiming he acted out of anger.

The police commissioner in the state, Alkali Baba Usman, who also confirmed his arrest, said he would be charged to court when investigation is concluded.
