A 40-year-old man, Emmanuel Okon, who resides in Obio Inwang Village in Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross River State, has been arrested by the police in cross river state for beating his son to death.
The state commissioner of police, Mr. Austin Agbonlahor, confirmed the arrest.
He said, ”On February I8th 2019, one Israel Emmanuel Okon, a father to Eteobong Emmanuel, beat his son to death over mere food.”
Agbonlahor said that the suspect killed his son, claiming that the young boy stole his food,a plate of porridge yam meant for him and ate...
He buried the victim in a shallow grave behind his residence.
He said the suspect had confessed to the crime but is pleading with the Police to set him free as he has other children who he needs to go home and look after since his wife wasn’t around to cater for the remaining five kids.
Emmanuel, who regretted his action, stated that as at the time of disciplining the child, he didn’t anticipate that the child was going to die, adding that the child did not die immediately he was trashed, but gave up the ghost the next day.

ReplyDeleteMad man.
DeleteThe level of hunger in this country is high. Poverty is it our portion in Jesus name. May the soul of the departed rest in peace.
ReplyDeletePoverty is "not" our portion.
DeleteThat is the level of hunger in Nigeria ooo.but he should have endured the hunger as the child ate d food because he too was hungry and it's his responsibility to provide for the children.
ReplyDeleteParents should endeavour not to discipline their children in anger.
ReplyDeleteRIP to the young lad
Theres something about Pottage oh! Abi is it not the same Pottage that made Esau sell his birthright to his brother? This man should be hung!!!!! You killed the fruit of ur loins for a plate of food? Shame! And people are out there looking for children! Some are looking for their fathers
ReplyDeleteYou just saved me from typing by saying what I had in mind hereš¢š¢š¢..
DeleteHe has many kids and so beating that his son to death cos of food wasnt a big deal to him...why not bear the number u cater for?? A food for thought for many Nigerians who think having large number of children is an investment

DeleteRest in peace.

ReplyDeletePeople should learn to control their anger.

DeleteBastard son of the devil!!! Who sent him to give birth to more kids than he can cater for?? This is making me boil.
ReplyDeleteThis just broke my heartš¢the poor child just died like that cos of mare food which he is entitled to.Parents why bore kids you can't train?why bring them to suffer why why why.If una no fit hold body go for family planning
ReplyDeleteMissing food is one of those things that brings the demons out of ppl. The boy is out of the suffering of this world, may his soul rip. I feel for remaining children may they be placed in a living home. I hope a kindhearted relative comes for them.
