The police on Sunday rescued a 10-year-old boy who was tied leg and hands for three days without food and water at the Igando area of Lagos. The boy, who the police gave his name as Israel Adebisoye, was tied with rubber by his father and his stepmother for allegedly stealing N10.






Onlookers, especially women, could not hold back their tears as they rained curses on the evil father and step mum when they were paraded by the police at the Oduduwa Police Station, Ikeja.

The boy, who at a point started vomiting, managed to utter the word: “I am dying, please, take me to the clinic.”

When the boy made the painful comment, sympathizer especially women could not control their emotions as they burst out in tears raining curses on the couple.

The father, Kehinde Adebisoye told Daily Sun that he punished his son by tying him with rubber because he could not return the sum of N10 balance from the N40 he gave him to purchase an undisclosed thing.

He said: “Besides, my child is a known thief. The school teacher reported to me last time that he stole some money at the school. He ran away from home, so, when I caught him, I tied his hands to his legs and starved him of food and water for three days.”

However, his wife, Dupe, claimed he did not rescue the child because his husband would beat her up if she had pleaded for the child.

She said: “Once, I tried it and I was given the beaten of my life and that was why I decided to keep mum and watch the drama being acted by my husband.

Lagos State police spokesman, Mr. Frank Mba, said the little boy was rescued by the police when a neighbour gave information to the police. Mba, who described the act as man’s inhumanity to man, said the man teamed up with his wife to carry out the dastardly act.

He revealed that succour had come to the dying boy as the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian University (SSANU) has volunteered to take over the treatment of the little boy.

Mba, who handed over the boy to chairman of the SSANU, Sessi Funmi, commended the association for its gesture.

Mba said the couple would be charged to court soon.
