Shocking: Boy Stabs Father In The Eye Over Christmas Clothes!
A secondary school student in Oshodi area of Lagos threw decorum to the wind yesterday, when he stabbed his father in the right eye for failing to buy him Christmas clothes.
The boy, a Senior Secondary School (SSS3) student, who was identified simply as Ikechi, was said to have held his father, Anthony, hostage for some minutes in their apartment on Arowojobe Street, Osodi, before committing the dastardly act, because the man failed to buy him Christmas clothes.
According to family members, Anthony was said to have explained to Ikechi that he had only “small money” which barely paid for the Christmas clothes of his three siblings, but all appeals made by his father fell on deaf ears.
Ikechi’s cousin, Ukachukwu, revealed that Ikechi was so livid that he quarrelled with his father through the night, insisting that he must get his Christmas clothes, because he wanted to wear it to the birthday of a friend at one of the beaches along the Victoria Island-Epe Expressway, on Sunday.
According to Ukachukwu, when Anthony, who works as a guard in a hotel, wanted to leave for work, his son would not let him leave.
“He accused his father of hating him and, fed up with his complaints, the man got his belt and began to flog the boy.
As his father continued flogging him, Ikechi reached for a knife and stabbed him straight in the eye. Upon seeing the horror of his deed, Ikech took his heels. When I wanted to run off to the police station to report the issue to the police, his mother begged me not to, as it will ‘involve more expenses.”
Anthony, who was rushed to the hospital right away is under intensive care, while family members are praying for him to see properly with the eye again.
“But I doubt if he will still see with that eye again,” Ukachukwu said.
So sad!

Train up your child in the way of the Lord because when he grows he will give you peace.
You just nailed it!
No oooo that boy needs to go to jail! He is already a street thug in the making. That’s how criminals start off . Useless child !
That boy is an idiot . Christmas clothes for an adult& a boy for that? He should b ashamed of himself. Didn’t he know d way to building sites so he could do manual work& make money to buy for himself.? Shebi he wanted to go for party; let me c how he wl go again. & I fault d man; I think she spoilt d son in d 1st place y didn’t she allow dat boy to b dealt wt d police a little that should teach him some manners
*woman*
That boy is a spoilt and a wicked boy. He has not bn given a proper training from d scratch. In SSS3? Instead of him to find a way to assist d father as a guy, he is demanding for Christmas wares. That boy shld b thought a lesson by throwing in a police cell.
Him
What a world! This is one bad spirit this period carries,when you dont build your home and children in Christ and the word of God,this is always the end result,nw christmas celebrations for them this year has ended,Lord! Help our children to grow in your ways and understand every situations that comes by
Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old it will not depart from him
I wish him speed recovery. What a bad circumstance at Christmas season. Hummmm, some kids are just not worth having
Imagine. If not for the fear of God that is not in him, why or where will he have the gut to even pick a knife let alone shooking his father. It’s terrible.
Opin aye to de tan o. Senseless boy.
Ss3 student? Nawah for sm boys of ds days oo maybe he wan show up wt de so xmas clothes on hs frnds bday oh God hv mercy. I wish de man quick recovery amen
The world is really coming to an end
I saw this story yesterday and I was just angry.It might even be a girl that he wants to impress @ the party.He doesn’t know he’s old enough to hustle..mtcheeew
Every parents need to teach his children the reason for the season, When we explain to them that chritmas is not all about eating and wearing cloths, they will grow by this principle. And will never depart from it.
Signs of end time
A disgraceful/prodigal son.
Everyone is blaming the boy. lets look at it this way. what the boy did was wrong no matter how i try to defend him. cos he’s got no right to argue with his father talk more of stabbing him. but i want us to read in between the line. the boy complained that his father hates him and has been denying him of things. this is what i keep saying. the boy may be the oldest among all the children, but this doesn’t mean he should be shown less love. parents please try and love all your children equally.
It is obvious the boy lacks discipline & am sure his parents have been indulging & covering up his past misdeeds before this uinfortunate incident!let every parent/ guardian tighten uptheir belt in guiding their wards through the word of God & enforcing dicipline where necessary
wow!!too bad,too bad.
An ss3 student is no longer a kid naaw he suppose to understand the family situation what nonsense Christmas cloth?
Ewoh dis one pass me
Speechless
The boy is on a spell I think….cos how can a normal human being do that to his father in the name of Christmas cloth…nonsense!
My parent stop christmas cloth after I left primary sch and I was the 2nd among 8kid,so u can imagine that the ones behind didn’t know what christmas clothe is all about.he gives us option of sch fees or cloth.so in the whole compound we are the only ones that resume sch as it open.and so we pass it on in our homes even though we can afford it now.parent shld learn that.train up a child.
