A young boy in Lagos is said to have lost his life yesterday after his guardians beat him up for delaying in carrying out his chores. 12-year-old Onyedikachi Mbanozo was allegedly beaten to death by Paul Obiefule and his wife in the Agege area of the state around 2pm. The boy was reportedly assigned some chores but instead of doing them, he went out to play with his peers. This incurred the wrath of the Obiefule couple who went on to beat him to death. The police were informed of the incident by an anonymous source who called them. It was gathered that the Obiefules were always beating the boy and neighbours had always warned them of its implications. It was learnt that Mbanozo was asked to carry out some domestic duties by his guardians, but he allegedly went to play with his peers on Children’s Day. When his guardians saw him playing, they started beating him until he died, a source said. Police spokesperson Ngozi Braide, a Deputy Superintendent (DSP), confirmed the incident. She said: “The DPO, while on patrol with his men, received an anonymous call that a man and his wife had beaten a boy living with them to death. “On receipt of the information, police patrol vehicles moved to the scene and brought the suspects and the deceased to the station for detailed investigations. The case is under investigation at the Pen Cinema Division.”

where are the parents of the boy??, even if it is hard for them to cater for the boy, they can still manage to live with what they have , thats if they are still living though,, people sending their kids to live with one relative or the other, are endangering the lives of these kids, these children are treated in most cases like SLAVES, cant just imagine ,,,,it is our culture to help our parents or guardians,but if a kid fails to do that on time ,there are other ways of punishing such kid, in some cultures their kids or children dont even have to do any house chore.... the useless, wicked, heartless, slave handler couple just wasted the life of this boy at a very prime age. ah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

igbo people are the most illiterate people in Nigeria,other tribes are matured than them,now that it involves an igbo people you hardly heard anyone relating the crime or attach it to a tribe,but let it happen to other tribes,they would have been spewing their rotten mouth any how, mean while they are the worst in Nigeria when it comes to crime .
