» Thugs Beat Mother, Smash Baby Against The Floor «

Some thugs have allegedly beaten up
a woman, who was identified simply
as Beatrice, and smashed her two-
year-old baby against the floor, killing
the toddler.
It was gathered that the incident occurred at
the Bajare Camp in the Idanre Local
Government Area of Ondo State.
Witnesses told our correspondent that the
thugs attacked Beatrice on the instruction of
a middle-aged woman, identified simply as
Toyin, following a disagreement between
the women.
One of the witnesses said the disagreement
between Toyin and Beatrice led to a free-
for-all. He added that Toyin left the scene
and came back with some thugs who she
allegedly ordered to beat up Beatrice.
He said, “During the scuffle, the baby boy,
who was strapped to his mother’s back
was smashed against the floor by one of
the thugs, leading to his death.”
It was gathered that the thugs immediately
fled the area, while the toddler was rushed
to the hospital, where he was confirmed
dead.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the
state, Mr. Wole Ogodo, explained that the
mother of the baby reported the matter at
the police station, saying the suspect and
her thugs had been arrested.
Ogodo said investigation had commenced
into the matter, adding that the suspects
would be charged to court as soon as the
police finished their probe.
He said, “People, who are having issues
with one another should always cultivate
the habit of reporting the case to the
appropriate quarters for onward action
rather than taking the law into their own
hands.”
It was gathered that the remains of the
deceased had been deposited at the Alade
Idanre General Hospital mortuary for post-
mortem.
