12 Year Old Beaten to Death for Playing on Children's Day by Couple

A young boy in Lagos is said to have lost his life
yesterday after his guardians beat him up for
delaying in carrying out his chores.
12-year-old Onyedikachi Mbanozo was allegedly
beaten to death by Paul Obiefule and his wife in the
Agege area of the state around 2pm.
The boy was reportedly assigned some chores but
instead of doing them, he went out to play with his
peers.
This incurred the wrath of the Obiefule couple who
went on to beat him to death. The police were
informed of the incident by an anonymous source
who called them.
It was gathered that the Obiefules were always
beating the boy and neighbours had always warned
them of its implications.
It was learnt that Mbanozo was asked to carry out
some domestic duties by his guardians, but he
allegedly went to play with his peers on Children's
Day.
When his guardians saw him playing, they started
beating him until he died, a source said.
Police spokesperson Ngozi Braide, a Deputy
Superintendent (DSP), confirmed the incident.
She said: "The DPO, while on patrol with his
men, received an anonymous call that a man
and his wife had beaten a boy living with
them to death.
"On receipt of the information, police patrol
vehicles moved to the scene and brought the
suspects and the deceased to the station for
detailed investigations. The case is under
investigation at the Pen Cinema Division. "
