Kogi
State Police command has arrested a 49-year-old school principal, Christopher
Ogbeun, for inflicting a high degree of burns on his 10-year-old son, Stephen
Ogbeun.
The
young boy was allegedly abused by his father for destroying some of his vital
office documents which were kept at home.
Announcing
this to journalists in Lokoja, Kogi State Police Commissioner, Mohammed
Katsina, said the victim`s father was by a special squad, who caught the
suspect red handed as he tied up the boy’s hand and closed his mouth before
using the hot pressing iron on him.
Mr.
Ogbeun, later told journalists that the act was not intentional as he only
meant to frighten his son into confessing to destroying his document, a letter
of approval from the West African Examination Council, (WAEC).
The Kogi State Police Command said Mr Ogebeun will be
charged for attempted murder, unlawful detention and inflicting injuries on his
son, after further investigations.
