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.
