The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 10-year-old boy for allegedly strangulating his 10-year-old mate to death during a football match.

The Command’s spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest to newsmen on Sunday.

Hundeyin said the Ejigbo Police Division received the information on Friday at about 6.20 p.m.

He said the father of the deceased reported the case to the police that his son, Israel Ogunleye, 10, was playing football with some boys at Oluwole Street, Powerline in Ejigbo area, where the mother of the boy has her shop located.

According to the PPRO, the father reported that his son had an argument with one of the boys, who is also 10 years old.

He said the report alleged that the 10-year-old suspect held the neck of his son and allegedly strangled him until he died.

“Based on the report, a team of detectives visited the scene and photographed the place and corpse. The corpse was taken to the General Hospital Isolo, where the doctor on duty confirmed him dead.

“The body was transferred to the mortuary for post-mortem examination, and the suspect is in police custody and investigation is in progress,” he said

Might be a kid from a dysfunctional violence filled home.

I'm surprised too. Is it that there were no people there to separate them. God comfort the family. It's a sad news to the ogunleyes.

very strange ooo,they might think it is normal fight.

The kind of things parents allow kids to watch could be the reason of strange news.

That boy shouldn't be allowed to go scot free because he knew exactly what he was doing. He should be tried as an adult and sentenced asap because we don't need his type living amongst us.

Before you defend him with the 'he's just a kid' mantra, remember that the bandits and kidnappers we are battling with right now were once kids and probably started their evils as kids.

Lack of home training and right upbringing.
When parents fail to be intentinally involved in the upbringing of their children they pick up bad habits and behavior from the wrong places and begin to act it even under their parents nose and because these parents care less this evil traits keep thriving until it gets out of hands and they turn around to cry " my enemy at work".

Imagine, what is difficult in raising a child from 0 to 10 that looks so overwhelming. Then don't give birth if you know you'll not have the strength and all it requires to raise one than breeding animals in the name of procreation.

The kind of things that happen these days ehn. How does a ten year old boy even get the strength to kill someone?

I have clinically worked on a 5 year old boy, who loves killing cats and chickens.

Demonic spirit.

People will probably tag him apayan from then on, and he might live with the stigma for the rest of his life. Poor child.
Except he goes where nobody knows his story.

The devil is kuku a bastard and a coward to have used a child to do evil.

What kind of mistake is this
