Sad! How Dad Beat 10-Year-Old Son To Death In Ogun State

According to Baba Olaolu, Wariz’s stepmother would tell his father that the money Wariz stole was N200 or more, resulting in constant beating, without getting a chance to tell his side of the story.

“We have warned Alfa (suspect) several times to desist from beating his son, but he would not listen. He accused him of always stealing his wife’s money. At a point, I invited the boy to find out why he was always stealing. But he told me that he usually took the money to buy food any time he was hungry.

He also revealed that most times, he went to school on empty stomach and by the time he would return home, there would be no food.

He said he would be tempted to steal N50 from his stepmother’s hand bag, which he used to buy garri and groundnut. He said at times, he would end up going to bed without food.

(He) claimed that his stepmother usually lied against him by claiming that the amount stolen was N200 or above and that his father would not give him any chance to explain his side of the story.

When the battering became too much, we contacted his mother who lives in Lagos State, to come for her son. She kept promising to do so until this happened.”

“Wariz stole a phone at a party. When the news reached me, I was very bitter and at the same time ashamed that a child I gave birth to could disgrace me publicly by stealing other people’s things.

That was not the first time he had stolen. He usually stole money belonging to his stepmother, despite the fact that we did not starve him of food. When I called him to ask where he kept the stolen phone, he could not give any reason for stealing or revealed where the phone was. Out of annoyance, I descended on him without knowing it would lead to his death.”
