An 11-year-old missing boy, Joshua Sunday, has been found dead inside a drum in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

The deceased was found dead inside a drum containing water in his compound at Usonia street, back of Stephen Keshi Stadium, three days after he went missing.

Narrating the incident on Wednesday, February 8, 2023, the deceased?s mother, Christy Garuba, said her son went missing on Thursday, and was found dead on Sunday, February 5.

She alleged that her son was killed and brought back to the compound.

"I travel to the West part of the country, on my way coming back to Asaba on Thursday, February 2, I called my son Joshua informing him that I was coming back home; that was around 3pm; he was still in school for primary six lessons because he is preparing for common entrance (primary six exams. Because of fuel scarcity, we couldn't get fuel on time which delay my movement to Asaba", she told the Punch.

"I got to Asaba around 7 pm, entered the house, and immediately I saw my son?s slippers scattered on the ground but didn't see the boy. I asked my house help the whereabouts of Joshua and she said she suspected he went to charge his phone. I went to the place he normally goes to charge the phone, but he was not there."

"I started searching for my son everywhere but I didn't see him. It was in the evening I went to report the case at the A Division police station. After three days, I was told to go and check somewhere for my son, immediately I went out they called me back that they have seen my son. I went back to my compound and saw my son dead inside the drum in my corridor.

"Imagine the drum I collected water from to wash my face on Friday morning, was where they said they found my son. They killed him and sneaked him back inside the drum.

The grieving mother called on the security agency in the state to expedite action against the killers in order to give him justice.

Spokesperson of the State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe, who confirmed the incident said some suspects have been arrested;

The police are waiting for the autopsy to ascertain the cause of the boy's death. Some suspects have been arrested but now I cannot tell you the numbers of the suspects arrested, he added.

Another Terrible News, Coming From DELTA

Proudly Brought To You By

Tboy222:
He was obviously killed, a boy drowning in a drum when he isn't a baby.

Its obvious he was killed. May God save us & our children frm unfriendly friend. RIP DUDE.

Murder is the case here...

Too bad this is Nigeria where all will be handed to God and buried with him.

Poor son, farewell.

The house help should produce
some answers 😐😐😐

RIP poor boy. It is really sad.

Some are already speculating murder... it might not be. It might have been an accident.

Reminds me of a day I heard a noise in a water drum. I opened it and I can't ever forget what I saw.

A chicken whether out of thirst or curiosity had fallen inside. Its eyes were blank and it was almost mad from struggling to keep its head above water and not drown. It's likely it hadn't slept nor ate for God knows how many days. The instinct to survive just kept it going. It had hypothermia with most of its feather gone. If I hadn't opened the drum that very second, it might have given up at any point.

Very few humans except very strong and excellent swimmers wouldn't drown almost immediately. The question is...

Was the water drum secure? It could have been a murder and it also could have been an accident. The evidence is inconclusive but some don't have the IQ to understand that.

I'm not kidding here I almost died that way when I was a kid.

I went to fetch water from our blur long drum then then I slipped into the drum that was half filled upside-down

I was in the brink of drowning when a passer-by helped rescue me


I don't believe its murder. Its an accident

This is a personal story for those m0rons bleating like goats.

.
This link is for those not smart enough to figure out different possibilities.

In fact this particular case made me remember the Elisa Lam story.

Read it. She was found in a tank too. Case is so strange and still unsolved.

You are comparing a chicken to an 11-year-old boy?

Murder is sounds like ... The house maid should be grilled for some answers

The boy was used for money ritual

Every yahoo boy in that neighbourhood is a suspect

It's murder! How did an 11-yr-old boy drown in a drumin his house? Did he trip and fall inside when he was pouring water and nobody heard him struggle or cry for help? How did he drown in the water drum without the mum hearing him struggle the day she returned home? Probably killed by a neighbor, kept by the neighbor and sneaker in to the drum when the mum went to the police station.they should check the neighbors and the house girl

Don't be daft. Do you know the size of the drum ?

You guys are just so stupid and close minded.... right up on this particular thread are 2 cases involving water drums.

1 man even put TWO children inside a water drum. Are you guys so daft you can't envision a BIG drum?

I swear Nigerians can really be daft. I didnt even say it wasn't a murder. I said evidence was inconclusive.

TheChameleon:


Don't be daft. Do you know the size of the drum ?

No it's as big as a swimming pool. Idiot

Bioko2:

Bioko2 to his useless homosexual father
No it's as big as a swimming pool. Idiot

Yes. He must be an idiot not to know there are drums big enough for a boy to drown in.

RIP

Scientific and autopsy need to be carried out.

Hmmm, in another news, the boy don bullied someone

Rest easy soldier

Wicked world

The house help is the first suspect. Scrutinize her before they kill her for cover up.

a chicken to a boy of 11 years not even a toddler haba that don't just follow at all even if it's a 5 year old child, his or her first instinct will be to try to get out of the drum as for me I suspect foul play
