An 11-year-old boy identified as, Favour Oyediran has been butchered by his own father who has not been identified yet. The evil father on Sunday lured him into the bush near the President Muhammadu Buhari Estate along Siun-Sagamu-Abeokuta Expressway from their house at Abule Agbon, located between Kobape and Abeokuta, where he lived with his father, stepmother and her two children.


His own mother was said to have separated from the father. He was reported to have been stabbed by the father in the neck, pretended to be dead before his father abandoned him in the bush.

Favour, who later crawled out of the bush, was said to have been rescued by a good Samaritan, who took him to the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta.

According to sources, said Favour’s father always maltreated him.

The father, the source said, had allegedly claimed that the son embarrassed him “too often by reporting him to the Baale each time he is assaulted by father.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said he had yet to be briefed about the incident by the Divisional Police Officer in whose jurisdiction the incident happened.
