A Nigerian court has remanded a cleric, Ajibaye Elikana, 49, and his wife, Elizabeth, in prison custody for allegedly pouring hot charcoal on their child.
The Chief Magistrates’ Court in Osogbo took the decision Tuesday after hearing the Police Prosecutor, Sgt. Elisha Olusegun, recount how the couple conspired and caused bodily harm to their 12-year old son on 2 January at Okinni area of the town, capital of the state of Osun.
Olusegun said the cleric and his wife tied the hands and legs of their son with a rope and bathed him with hot charcoal. According to Olusegun, the poor child was abandoned on the street where he was picked up by a good Samaritan for treatment and taken to the Central Juvenile Welfare Centre. How cruel can some people be?
