A ten-year-old boy identified as Lukman has been brutalized
and set on fire by his father, Yaya Babarinde in Ibadan, Oyo State for
allegedly stealing money.
In a video footage gone viral on social media, the boy was
seen seriously beaten and thrown into a local stove by his father.
The boy’s father, Babarinde, who was questioned by an
Inspector of police in Yoruba language, confessed how he punished his son by
tying him up before delivering jungle justice on him.
He started by saying, “I’m a shoe cobbler. I came in the
evening and my neighbours told me my son stole money.
“When I asked them if they have collected back the money
from him, they told me that he only returned half of it and had given the rest
to his friends on the street.
“I beat him up, tied his hands and put him in the fire place
not knowing there was fire in it. Unfortunately the fire caught his cloth and
burnt his body.
“I don’t have money to take him to the hospital.
“It was a mistake. I did not do it intentionally. Please
pardon me.” https://youtu.be/AYOlFnn-Zik
