Mom arrested for brutalizing her son and locking him up for months in Lagos

The Lagos State Police Command have arrested one Peace Onyebuchi, for allegedly brutalising her 6-year-old son and locking him up.

According to SaharaReporter, Onyebuchi had him in her first relationship but is currently married to another man who is in the Gambia in search of greener pastures. It’s alleged that she hits her son's head against the wall at the slightest provocation.

It was alleged by Onyebuchi's neighbours that she started beating the young boy since he was four years old. They added that the recent assault lasted for close to two hours as the minor sustained several injuries on his head, face, shoulders, and back.

The incident which occurred at Ekunpa, Ojo LGA of Lagos, was reported to a human rights group, Advocates for Children and Vulnerable People's Network, by a concerned neighbour.

The neighbour said, “This boy is Divine. He doesn't attend school anymore. Presently, Divine is looked up in a room by his mum. This torture has been going on since when Divine was four years old. His father is presently in the Gambia in search of greener pastures.

I was not even aware of the issue until recently when my landlord's daughter told me about it. I immediately told the landlord who didn't take the issue lightly; he immediately mobilised all the neighbours to her door and demanded that she should bring out the boy so we could see him, at least to be sure he was still alive.

I used to see Divine in 2019 whenever he was going to school. He was a very fine young boy. He was very healthy and alive but since I had not been seeing him, I assumed he was not around. Little did we know she had been locking him up. When the landlord asked the mother to bring him out, what we saw was horrible.”

EPE MATERNAL, CHILDCARE CENTRE TO BE COMPLETED IN TWO MONTHS.

Epe Community Must Protect This Asset- P.S, Ministry of Health.

By Babatunde Kaka.

It is indeed heartwarming to realise that the Epe Maternal and Childcare Centre (MCC),  would be finally completed and opened for public use to residents in Epe.

Ekohotblog gathered that the Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Health, Dr. Olusegun Ogboye, disclosed this during an inspection tour of the specialist facility. He stated that the completion of the four-floor modern edifice has attained an advanced stage but left with minor fittings.

“The work on the facility is quite advanced. Most of the infrastructures are in place; we just need to put some fittings in, do some finalisations, tidy up everything, and I think it should be up and running in about two months”.

Ogboye was amazed at the satisfactory level of work carried out so far. He said the Epe MCC like others that have been commissioned during the present administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is an improvement on the earlier ones which are consequent upon the lessons learned for improved service delivery.

He noted that the soon to be completed Epe MCC has all the alternative power supply one could imagine such as electricity from the National Grid, a standby Generator, Solar Power and an Inverter. These power sources, he said, would solve the challenge of power outage for better service delivery.

“Definitely we learn from each MCC that we have commissioned and one major thing we do is to give all the alternatives of power when we set up an MCC. For this MCC, we have electricity from the Grid, a Generator, Solar power and then an Inverter. This also goes for each of the new MCCs that are coming up on stream.

“We are learning even how to distribute services and how to distribute space amongst the different departments, so definitely we are learning from each one and we are putting the learning into the next one we are doing”, he said.

Dr Ogboye further hinted that the plan of the Governor Sanwo-Olu led administration is to have a maternal and child centre for every division of Lagos. The idea, he said, is to ensure that the State indices for maternal and child health improves well, while women of childbearing age and children have seamless access to a satisfactory maternal and child healthcare services that would ensure mothers and their babies are alive and well.

While he pleaded with residents to protect the asset and establish a cordial relationship with workers, he also added that the completion of the facility and commencement of operation would substantiate the safety of pregnant women in Epe and ensure that their antenatal, as well as post-natal care needs, are ascertained.

“I would like to use this opportunity to ask the Epe community to please protect this asset. They should see it as their own and see the people working here as their family. So help us take care of them and take care of the facility”, Ogboye stated. 

At completion, the Epe MCC would be the third MCC to be accomplished by the present administration besides those of Eti-Osa and  Badagry MCC  recently commissioned.

Ekohotblog gathered that Ogboye was accompanied on the facility inspection tour by the General Manager, Lagos State Infrastructure Management Agency (LASIAMA), Ms. Nike Adekanbi; Director Health Care Planning Research and Statistics, Ministry of Health, Dr. Dayo Lajide and a team from the Project Unit in the Ministry of Health.
