The deceased was said to have been accused of stealing an undisclosed
amount of money from some roadside beggars on Friday and was
apprehended and handed over to his father. The father, a commercial
driver, allegedly drove his son to a nearby bush on Omu-Aran-Isanlu-Isin
road, tied his hands and legs before setting him ablaze. Sola, who was
still alive when he was rescued, told his rescuers that his father was
responsible for the act.
The mother of the deceased, Rachael, was seen crying in the hospital after the death of her son was broken to her.
The mother, who is a trader based in Odo-Owa,
another suburb, told NAN that a friend had notified her of the
development on phone before she rushed to the hospital to check on her
son. The mother, who acknowledged that Sola was an unrepentant
troublesome fellow, however, expressed shock at the father’s action.
She disclosed that although she gave birth few weeks ago, she had
divorced Kehinde about seven years ago as a result of irreconcilable
differences. Mr Ajayi Okasanmi, the Police Public Relation
Officer in the state, confirmed the incident, saying that the suspect
was already in police custody and that investigation was ongoing.
