The Osubi
community in Delta state yesterday handed over Mr Ifeanyi Akpa and his wife to
the police in the community for physically assaulting his 13-year old nephew,
Chigozie, who live with them.
The
community members who witnessed the beating of the little boy and saw how
battered his back looked, apprehended the couple and handed them over to the
police.
Activist,
Harrison Gwamnishu, who shared the photos online, quoted a resident of the
community to have said 'Chigozie does all the domestic work in the house, sells
pure water during the day and yet they won't allow the poor boy have peace'.
The Speaker
Delta State house of Assembly Hon Oborevwori Sheriff has directed that the boy
be taken away from the couple and be given a scholarship.
