Woman breaks eight-year-old son’s head for fleeing house

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a woman, identified only as Mary, for allegedly fracturing the head of her eight-year-old son.

The son, Samuel, was punished for leaving the house without permission and going to a neighbour’s place.

Our correspondent gathered that Mary, who lived on Furniture Avenue, Jakande Estate Gate in the Isolo area of the state, allegedly hurled a stone at Samuel which broke his head.

Angry neighbours were said to have attempted to mob Mary before the arrival of policemen from the Isolo Police Division, who took the woman away, while Samuel was rushed to a government hospital.

PUNCH Metro gathered that on Friday, at about 1pm, Mary, who worked as a lotto agent, had returned and did not meet Samuel at home.

She was said to have met the boy in a neighbour’s place and attempted to flog him. While Samuel ran, the mother allegedly picked a stone and hurled it at the boy. The stone hit the boy’s head, damaging his head.
