| Bad Dad, Adeoye Oreyomi |
A 13 year-old who was chained by his father for stealing his
N2,000.00 has been rescued by Policemen attached to the Shagamu Police Division
of the Ogun State Command, yesterday.
Neighbours at 9, Dokun Street, Ewuga, Shagamu told Vanguard that the teenager was found naked on the bare floor with his hands and legs bound. They also said he had blood stains on his body.
When asked why he was in that position, he said that his
father Adeoye Oreyomi, 41, accused him of stealing his N2,000.00.
A resident, Modupe Okesola, alleged that it was not the first
time the teenager would be dehumanised by his father.
She said: “This is how this boy has been dehumanised by his
father. Even if he stole, is this the way to discipline a child? He even
padlocked the chains so that nobody can rescue him,”
“We had to call in the Police because we were afraid that the
boy might die.”
The Divisional Police Officer, Shagamu Police Division,
Aduroja Moses, reportedly led a team of Policemen to the house, from where the
teenager was rescued and taken to hospital, while his father was arrested.
As at 6 pm yesterday, the boy was still being treated at an
undisclosed hospital.
Confirming the incident, spokesman of the Ogun State Police Command,
Abimbola Oyeyemi said “The Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Iliyasu has ordered
that the suspect be charged to Court as soon as investigation is concluded.”
He said that the Command will not tolerate any act of
lawlessness from anybody no matter how highly placed the person is.
