An unidentified man allegedly killed his eight- year-old son in the Epe area of Lagos State over a misplaced sewing thread that belonged to him.

PUNCH Metro gathered on Tuesday that the incident occurred around 10:00 a.m. on August 5, when the father was about to use his sewing thread.

Upon discovering that the minor had misplaced, his sewing thread, the suspect allegedly became enraged and doused the child with Motor Spirit, commonly known as, petrol.

Seeing the adverse effects of his action on the boy, who reportedly began vomiting white substances, the suspect attempted to ease the pain by offering him some palm oil to drink.

Despite consuming the palm oil, PUNCH Metro learnt that the boy lost consciousness, and residents rushed him to a hospital in the area for medical treatment.

However, he was said to have been pronounced dead less than two hours after the incident, according to some witnesses.

In a viral video seen by PUNCH Metro on, Tuesday, the suspect is shown kneeling before police officers and residents, answering questions why he committed the crime.

Although his response was unclear due to the poor audio quality in the clip, an eyewitness in the short viral video mentioned that foam was coming out of the deceased child’s nose and mouth.

When reached on Monday, the state police command spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident and stated that the suspect had been arrested on charges of alleged murder.

He said, “A report was filed on August 5, 2024, alleging that a father poured petrol on his son’s face and pushed him after the boy misplaced his sewing thread.

“The boy lost consciousness, and his sister gave,him palm oil. After consuming it, he began vomiting, and he was subsequently rushed to the hospital.

“The doctors on duty confirmed him as being brought in dead. His body has been taken to a general hospital in Lagos for an autopsy. The suspect will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Yaba for further investigation.”

A similar incident occurred earlier in July when a man identified only as Olumide allegedly beat,his 19-year-old son, known as Adeyemi, to death with a shovel for an undisclosed offence.

The suspect was arrested, and the command announced that it had initiated an investigation into the death.

Many are mad. Only few are roaming

Sometimes, I think this kind of act is not normal, because how can a father kill his son because of what doesn't worth anything

Tinubu has turned everyone to angry men.
Imagine killing your own child because of tread?
Small time tinubu people will start eating their children.
Tinubu till 2090

Omo, the level of anger these days is terrible.

Because N50 or N100 thread
So wilh over a billion ways to correct, scold or punish a child, this oloriburuku mumu evil wicked old fool chose to poison his own son to death with chemical!
Petrol that will destroy all his intestines with few minutes.

HE DESERVES NOTHING LESS THAN A LIFE SENTENCE.

O wrong na

an hungry man is an angry man. Thieffnubu till 2040

If he blame Tinubu he's 100% right because what pushed his anger was that he'll be thinking that ordinary thread wey I dey buy #120 before don turn to #750.


I dey tell you, the only thing that's harbouring many Nigerians anger is hope and patience say he go better.

Drugs and substances at work.

I blame the government in any negative news that makes it out these days. Why can't they provide basic needs for the citizen?

Blame the economy, the number of metally stressed people frustrated by bad economic decisions has increased since Tinubu became president.

Na head he wan mine

Ehen?
.
E bin pawa o

They should investigate the man

What is wrong with these ppl, small thing,na to kee mine skull

Yoruba man I guess

Now he’s lost his beloved son

It's bad enough that before people get married they don't check whether they're mentally ok or otherwise to be a husband or father. Everyone just assumes once you finish school or have a good job or business then you are qualified to marry that's why many riff-raffs with mental disorder and schizophrenia are impregnating women and having children that they don't have the mental, moral and financial capacity to raise

Even the ones with financial capacity has psychological and character disorder. Unfortunately women are enablers of this nonsense. It's Unfortunate my gender lacks self respect. Even if it is a gorilla that has money,my gender will allow Even a gorilla or a dog to impregnate her because of money

Now it's the children who will suffer for it.imagine the nonsense.

Stephaniegold:
Yoruba man I guess

You're mad

I'm Igbo and I condemn you two's thought pattern for being agents of hate and bigotry.

Stop with the tribal nonsense.
