Father chains his only son and leaves him in the bush

This little boy was found by the community security service during the sanitation exercise crying in a bush near a river in Okpuno, Awka .His legs were bound in chains and locked with a padlock. From investigations his father whose photo also appeared above known as Alhaji by his fellow Okada riders was the one who chained his two legs and left him in the bush for three days without food or water.

The said father told his neighbours that his son has been missing for three days and both him and neighbours were searching for the little boy together without the neighbours knowing that he knew where his son was. But he ran out of luck when the security men from the community discovered the boy crying in the bush. The little boy happens to be the only child from his former wife who no longer lives with him. No one knows if he had any intentions of using the boy for ritual purposes.
