A middle-aged man, identified as Mallam
Yusuf Bala, on Sunday at Singer Market, Fagge Local Government Area of
Kano State forfeited his five-year-old son for a bag of rice.
According to an eyewitness account, Bala
approached the rice dealer, Alhaji Suleiman Bagudu, to buy a bag of
rice, which he carried home but left his son, with a promise to rush
home to bring the money for the foodstuff.
This, he said, was because the money on him was not enough to pay for the bag of rice, selling for N14,000 per 50kg bag.
However, six hours after, the said man failed to show up as promised to settle the rice dealer and collect his son.
According to the source, the rice dealer
became suspicious, following the Bala’s prolonged absence, a situation
that prompted the trader to interrogate the toddler he left behind.
On interrogation, the five-year-old boy
innocently led the rice dealer to their home, located at the abattoir
area of Koki in Dala Local Government Area of the state.http://punchng.com/man-abandons-son-for-bag-of-rice-in-kano/
