The police in Lagos state have arrested a yet-to-be-identified man for allegedly killing his eight-year-old son in the Epe area of Lagos State over a misplaced sewing thread that belonged to him on August 5.
According to reports, the suspect became enraged after he called for his sewing thread and discovered the minor had misplaced it. In anger, he doused petrol on his son. The petrol had adverse effect on the boy, causing him to vomit white substances. The suspect then proceeded to give the minor some palm oil to drink so as to ease the pain the petrol had caused on his body. Sadly, the minor lost consciousness and he was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was confirmed dead on arrival by the doctors.
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the state police command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said an autopsy will be carried out on the remains of the deceased while the suspect will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Yaba for further investigation.
