Father Beats Seven-year-old Son To Death For Allegedly Stealing His N3,200


The police in Rivers State have arrested one Richard Inimgba, for killing his seven - year - old son over alleged stealing .
The suspect , a resident of Amadi - Ama in Port Harcourt, had accused his son, George Inimgba , of stealing N 3 ,200 on Friday and reportedly used a cutlass to inflict cuts on the victim after beating him up with a plank .
George was found dead the following morning.
Starzz hub gathered that George ’s stepmother, Blessing Inimgba, was also arrested by the police for failing to rescue the boy.
It was learnt that Richard had wanted to keep George ’s death a secret, but for a carpenter who raised the alarm on sighting the injuries on the boy.
Richard was said to have secretly invited the carpenter into his apartment to prepare a coffin for his burial .
Some neighbours and relatives of 39 - year-old Richard, popularly known as Oyinbo , told one of our correspondents that he had been maltreating the boy since he sent his mother packing six years ago.
The wife of Richard ’s elder brother , who simply identified herself as K. K . , said George requested water at the point of death, but the father continued the beating.
She said the boy’s attempts to explain that he used part of the money to feed himself because he was hungry fell on deaf ears.
She said, “He beat the boy for about two hours . My husband was not around . The boy was crying and saying , ‘ Daddy, give me water, I cannot walk again. ’
“The boy was saying ‘Sorry Daddy’ and the man continued to ask , ‘ Where is the money ?’ But the boy said he was hungry and used the money to buy bread . He accused the son of stealing N 3 ,200 from him overtime.
“The boy was always hungry and if he came to my house to eat, the stepmother would report him to the father .
“He went to his church to tell the pastor that his child was dead without explaining what led to the little boy’s death. It was when the carpenter raised the alarm that the neighbours knew.
