Some thugs allegedly beat up a woman, who was identified
simply as Beatrice, and smashed her two-year-old baby
against the floor, killing the toddler at the Bajare Camp in the
Idanre Local Government Area of Ondo State.
Witnesses said that the thugs attacked Beatrice on the
instruction of a middle-aged woman, identified simply as Toyin,
following a disagreement between the women.
One of the witnesses said the disagreement between Toyin and
Beatrice led to a free-for-all. He added that Toyin left the
scene and came back with some thugs who she allegedly ordered
to beat up Beatrice.
He said:
“During the scuffle, the baby boy, who was strapped to
his mother’s back was smashed against the floor by one
of the thugs, leading to his death.”
It was gathered that the thugs immediately fled the area, while
the toddler was rushed to the hospital, where he was confirmed
dead.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Wole
Ogodo, explained that the mother of the baby reported the
matter at the police station.
The suspect and her thugs have since been arrested.
Ogodo said investigation into the matter has started, adding that
the suspects would be charged to court as soon as the police
finished their probe.
He said:
“People, who are having issues with one another should
always cultivate the habit of reporting the case to the
appropriate quarters for onward action rather than
taking the law into their own hands.”
The remains of the deceased baby has been deposited at the
Alade Idanre General Hospital mortuary.
Poor baby. May his soul rest in peace.
