A 13 year old primary five pupil, Awal Osisi has committed suicide in Akure, the Ondo state capital. But the police in the state is working at some puzzles surrounding the alleged death of the boy just as his step mother is being detained. It was gathered that the boy committed suicide in his parents’ house located at High School area of Akure. Awal was allegedly found in his parents’ room hanging by the door on Wednesday by using a belt to hang himself. His step mother Mrs Rukayat Osisi reportedly raised alarm at about 10.00am when she discovered the dangling body of the boy in the room. Rukayat a petty trader. claimed that she found the body of Awal in the room having committed suicide. However, the police in the state is suspecting foul play, wondering why the step mother brought down the alleged dangling body of the boy before informing the police. The woman was said to have gone to the ‘A’ Division at about 1.35 pm to report that her step-son was found dead in the room after killing himself. Rukayat said she discovered the body of the boy in the room after he hanged himself with a belt tied to the handle of the door. She said she had to remove the corpse of the deceased and take it to the State specialist hospital in Akure before reporting the incident at the police station. However, reports gathered from the community showed that Awal has always been a victim of victimisation, oppression and child abuse by his father and the step- mother since his mother divorced the father some years ago. It was learnt that the step-mother together with the father has always been maltreating the boy and sending him on difficult errands. It was learnt that the father works outside Akure and comes to Akure every weekend. The father, it was gathered seized the boy’s school uniform and books following a report from the wife that the deceased misbehaved while the father was away in his station.

Divorce is not good in nigeria and africa at large.
In western world if a couple divrce and go separate ways, d mother/father of d child can cum and visit at appointed time even if either has move on and got married but in africa/nigeria here its either d wife will accuse d other woman of cuming to beg m bak or she will fight d child mother dat she is influencing d child against or d man will fight d wife former husband for nothg. We are not mature for divorce. Pls don't rush to marry cus of age or others are getting married or born out of wedlock like its a normal thg. Its d child/chuldren dat will suffer.

What does a 13 yr old child know about suicide? No child should be maltreated regardless of who the mother is? All kids need our love, care and protection. Kids are a thing of joy and blessing from God....pls love them

They can't be serious! so they're suspicious because she brought down the body and took it to the hospital before informing the police. Any mother would have done that! I would have done samething... try to see if the boy was still alive and possibly save him. If she had left the body up there then that would have raised eyebrow.
