Operatives
of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP,
in Abuja have arrested one Mr Godstime Ategho over the horrific injuries
he
inflicted on his 7-year-old son after the child ate food meant for him.
According to
the agency, the 29-year-old plumber tied up the boy and plugged a pressing iron
which he then used to run all over body.
"The
man in this picture has just been arrested by NAPTIP operatives in Kuje, Abuja
for engaging in what a father should not be involved in.
He
brutalised his 7 year old son and used pressing iron on him. The boy's offence?
He ate the food kept for the father and on return from work, the 29yr old
plumber became angry with the little boy, brutalised him, took a hot iron and
pressed it on different parts of his body, thereby causing him grievous body
injury. The suspect identified as Godstime Ategho, from Etiope East LGA, Delta
State, is Urhobo by tribe. This is child abuse and NAPTIP condemns it
totally."
