A yet-to-be-identified woman and her son, known only as Chukwuemeka, have allegedly beaten a 14-year-old boy named Testimony to death at their home on Delta Street, Ayanre, off Ibiye bus stop, Badagry, Lagos.

Our correspondent gathered that the deceased was reportedly beaten for allegedly misplacing N1,000 note given to him by one of the suspects to buy items at the market.

Multiple sources who spoke with our correspondent said that the deceased teenager was allegedly beaten for several hours starting at 11 pm on Wednesday, before succumbing to his injuries around 1 am on Thursday.

One of the neighbours who spoke with our correspondent on Friday said, “This young boy was beaten to death by his guardians, who were not his biological parents. The neighbours tried to intervene, but the doors were locked from the inside.

“Around 6 am this morning (Thursday), he (the deceased) wasn’t responding to his name, so they rushed him to a nearby hospital. The hospital didn’t have oxygen therapy, so they brought him back home, which aggravated the boy’s condition.

“The woman then called her prayer partners in the church to start praying for miracles to happen before the boy finally gave up the ghost. The police came exactly around 5.10 pm on Thursday to pick up the woman, who was the main suspect in the brutalities shown to the deceased.”

Meanwhile, Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the state police command, said he could not confirm the incident when our correspondent inquired about it.

"I cannot confirm that now,” Hundeyin wrote in response to our correspondent inquiry on Friday.

However, a one-minute and 32-second video shared with our correspondent by another eyewitness, who chose to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the matter, showed the lifeless body of the boy with severe bruises, covered with a cloth in the apartment.

One of the men suspected to be behind the camera was heard saying, “This is the dead boy with bruises,” while others were screaming in disbelief.

Poor anger management

Now hin eyes don clear

People are wicked. If it were her biological son, would she have beaten him up to such extent?
Wickedness!!.
Poverty and anger issues go hand in hand honestly. Put the wicked woman in jail for life.

I'm sorry to say this, some women don't know how to handle other people's children. And I don't advise any parent to release their children to these kinda women.

Hunger dey. If anyone can help me with something to buy some food, I'll appreciate. Thanks.

frustration everywhere

OkoYibo:
Na Igbo woman. Na so them dey do.

While women are supposed to be tender, loving and able to nurture children, Igbo women are the opposite.
Igbo women are the worst in Africa. They are the only women who prey on the weak and on their young ones.
Too much testosterone is in their blood which makes them grow beards, yam legs and behave irrationally.

SensualMan:
The lives and homes Tinubu cannot destroy does not exist.

EreluRoz:
I knew she must be an igbo woman and obviously from anambra. We Igbos need to do better with our housemaids, it's really getting out of hand

Agbadox, had it been a Yorubaa, she would have not only killed him but mined his skull to buy 5000 naira yellow pepper. Umu ekwensu!

The lives and homes Tinubu cannot destroy does not exist.

1k will lead to 20 years jail term.

Richtaiwo:

EVIL one U dey laff mama CHUKWUEMEKA the murderer

I knew it. mmediately I saw the headline, I knew in my mind that the culprit must be an Igbo woman. I wonder why Igbo men can't tame their women. Same way Igbo father's have failed to tame their próstituting daughters causing núisance in the society and on social media. Dem no born my wife well to keep maltreating any kid under my care just because the kid is not her biological.

Pls give birth to the number of kids you can cater for.
Your child can never get the best in the hands of another person.

See guardian,see prison ..She don successfully guard herself into prison

Everytime you hear a woman beat a child to death, most times it's women from South East.
This a disturbing trend and can't be described as media bias anymore.

More likely than not her son stole the 1k.

Guardian indeed.
Child abuse needs to be taken serious in Nigeria. I don't know why the government hasn't enforced laws in place. A child has no business being a domestic worker. Get an adult that can match your wickedness (if any) and leave these kids alone. Many of them end up physically and sexually abused. If someone dares interview them as adults, I am sure their stories would leave you traumatised.

One you see child abuse, the ab must be Igbo. Why?

Before opening the thread, I knew she was an IPOB. But why?

One time Lagos clamped down on women abusing children, Igbos started crying that they are targeting Igbo women.

Religion of 'love sorry lust' at it again

Igbo women can never treat another woman's child as their own I'm a living testimony

Hostility at its peak.

I thought it is only hatred that resides in these people o

Anger too

Billionaire don beat perosn poor son to death over ₦1000. What is this world turning into. Tinubu you see wetin you cause abi e bi pawa reach this Chukwuemeka side ?!

OkoYibo:
One time Lagos clamped down on women abusing children, Igbos started crying that they are targeting Igbo women.

They always complain and claim being the target when ever any law is implemented because they know they always are guilty of almost everything.

See the type of Christians we have these days.

You mercilessly bear up a child and you have the mind to call for prayers so that the person you beat out of wickedness will get well.

SMH... This is what we have when all what the church preaches now is miracle miracle miracle.

Chukwuemeka Why?

If I’m the president, people like this nah straight shoot on sight. They’re worst than terrorist..
