7-year-old boy lost his life in Port Harcourt, Rivers State yesterday due to serious beating from his father. The man, identified as Inimgba allegedly hit his son George Tamunoibuemie with a hard object, leading to his
demise.

Here’s how a psychologist shared the news on the gram.
What
a cruel world. This week Tuesday, between the hours of 8 to 9 am. I saw
crowd of people around my vicinity gathered this little boy, so I
stopped by and inquired what happened.
They told me this little
boy on his way to school, stole doughnut from a shop. The people whom he
stole the doughnut even gave him more of it and mineral and asked him
to go. They all claimed that his father and stepmum have the habit of
starving and beating him to stupor on daily basis.
I saw so many
scars on his body.I took the boy to my house, interviewed him, and he
told me so many things. How he has been suffering since his mother left
his father. I gave him some biscuits, asked him to come and eat at my
place anytime and promised to see his father this week before he left
for school just to wake up this morning with shouting that his father
has beaten him to death.
His father has finally killed him. This happened in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.
A female neighbour of the deceased said that Inimgba was not an
attentive father and would abandon George, forcing him to fend for
himself.
The neighbor said only days before,
on Thursday precisely, she bought a pencil for him to use at school only for her to hear he had been killed by his father.
She
told Vanguard. “Just this week, I saw this little boy at a shop, people
gathered around him. He stole a doughnut and everyone was blaming his
father, saying he wasn’t giving him food and that, that was why the
boy stole. They said the father and the boy’s step mum maltreated
him. I saw scar all over his body. The people he stole the doughnuts
from even gave him more doughnuts and soft drink. I took the little boy
to my house and interviewed him. He was an intelligent boy. He told me
the same thing and even asked me to give him a pencil to school which I
did.
I also bought biscuits for him, took photograph of him
before he left. I promised to see his father but couldn’t due to my
tight schedule this (last week). This morning, I woke up to hear that
his father has killed him. The father beat him to death. The father is
at the Amadi police station now while the little boy’s body has been
taken to the mogue. I saw the father briefly being held at the station
as he was claiming that he only beat him small”, she said
According
to Sri George who shared the incident on Instagram, the father and the
boy's stepmother have now been handed over to the police...
