A middle-aged man, identified as Mallam Yusuf
Bala, on Sunday at Singer Market, Fagge Local
Government Area of Kano State forfeited his five-
year-old son for a bag of rice.
According to an eyewitness account, Bala
approached the rice dealer, Alhaji Suleiman
Bagudu, to buy a bag of rice, which he carried
home but left his son, with a promise to rush
home to bring the money for the foodstuff.
This, he said, was because the money on him was
not enough to pay for the bag of rice, selling for
N14,000 per 50kg bag.
However, six hours after, the said man failed to
show up as promised to settle the rice dealer and
collect his son.
According to the source, the rice dealer became
suspicious, following the Bala’s prolonged
absence, a situation that prompted the trader to
interrogate the toddler he left behind.
On interrogation, the five-year-old boy innocently
led the rice dealer to their home, located at the
abattoir area of Koki in Dala Local Government
Area of the state.
Despite expressing embarrassment when the rice
dealer arrived his home, alongside his child, Bala
openly confessed that he was financially
handicapped, hence his unbecoming conduct by
abandoning his son as a last resort.
Shortly after listening to Bala’s explanation, the
rice dealer donated the bag of rice to him and
handed over the boy to his father.
When contacted by our correspondent, the Police
Public Relations Officer, Kano State Police
Command, DSP Musa Magaji Majia, said the
incident had not been reported to him, promising
to brief the press as soon as the aggrieved party
reported the incident. But as of the time of filing
this report, Majia had not called our
correspondent.
