a 34 year old man, Arogundade Ahmed, was arrested by the police command after being reported for flogging his son to death and buries the corpse in front of his house in Alogba estate area of Ikorodu, on the 27th of June.

Eye witnesses say that they saw him beating his 13 year old son, Qudus, without any mind to stop because he broke into someone's house to steal. 

The said Arogunde Ahmed has had issues of losing it as people in the neighborhood stated that he had once beaten his son with a machete to almost the point of death and most times he even beats his wife and that was the reason for their divorce. 

However, the police statement on the incident read, “Upon his arrest, Arogundade said he did not kill his son. He said he (Qudus) was almost dead when Lateef and Gabriel handed him over. He said his son died soon after and then buried his corpse in front of his house and went to bed.

The police source said, “We have also arrested Lateef and Gabriel but they claimed they only tied up the boy and did not kill him. Investigations are ongoing.”
