Hello pals, even though this news ls old, but l still want us to express our views why a father should kill his own son just for a mere disobedience.
An 11-year-old boy was on Saturday flogged to death by his father for disobedience.
It was gathered that the suspect, Friday Obot, who is at the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba, Lagos Mainland, flogged the victim Michael Friday with a cable wire.
The incident occurred at 61, Awolowo Way, Ikeja, Lagos.
Sources disclosed to The Nation that the suspect had directed his son to carry out some assignments in their shop at the stated address but the boy refused.
It was in the process of being disciplined that the boy collapsed.
The boy was rushed to the General Hospital Ikeja, where he was confirmed dead.
The matter was reported to the police and the suspect was arrested.
Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Onyeisi Nwaolai, said that the Commissioner of Police, Mr Marvel Akpoyibo, directed the homicide section of the SCID to take over the case.
Also, a customer of one of the commercial banks in FESTAC Town was shot dead by armed robbers at the weekend.
According to sources, the deceased had gone to the bank in company of a relative to withdraw N1million around 11am on Friday when the incident occurred.
The deceased whose name was given as Olufemi Abiola by the police was in the company of his relative, Kemi Akinremi.
It was gathered that the hoodlums who were on a motor cycle, double-crossed the duo on 71 Road immediately they came out of the bank and demanded for the money.
There was a little resistance from the deceased who was holding the money, hence the shooting, The Nation learnt.
The bandits sped off with the motorcycle while the victim slumped and died on the spot.
Nwaolai confirmed the incident. He said that efforts to track down the suspects had begun.
Also at the weekend, a bricklayer in a construction company in Maroko was killed by assassins.
Jide Moses was killed in a bush path at the new market settlement area.
Nwaolai said police were investigating the murder.

Yes Erika, you are so right. There are other ways to discipline a child rather than using cable cord to flog him/her I guess Nigerian bill on child right should be completely reviewed. The father should be punished accordingly
