A 15-year-old boy, identified only as
Bolu, has become partially blind after his step mother, Esther Modupe,
allegedly flogged him in the Onipanu area of Lagos.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Bolu,
who is to sit for the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination of
a university in Lagos State, could not see with his left eye.
It was learnt that the cane inadvertently hit the boy’s left eye during the flogging.
Our correspondent gathered that Bolu’s
mother had separated from her husband, Lekan Williams, about 10 years
ago, and her two children were brought up by the husband alone until
three years ago when Lekan married a second wife ─ Esther.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Esther, who had yet to bear a child for Lekan, was the one taking care of the children before the flogging issue.
