wait at the rice shop, while he went
to get the money, he left with the
two bags of rice in company of the other
man, he explained.

officer explained that when the man did
not come back with the money, the rice
seller asked the boy the whereabouts of his father who brought him there. My boy told the rice seller that he didn’t know the man nor where he lived, they started beating him, calling him thief, while he was being beaten a man came up to his
rescue”.
*They told him all that happened. They went to police station with my boy to
report the case, that was when they
called me. The police said there was a
CCTV Camera that captured them when
they were coming to carry the rice. They
didn’t show me where they were carrying
the rice. The rice sellers insisted that I
must pay for the rice, I told them, I can’t
pay for two bags, I will pay for one bag
for my son to be released to me.
“I paid N90, 000 for one bag of rice.
After that police said I must bail my
child, I told them how can I bail a child.
They insisted, then I told them, I will
leave my child with them if they refuse to
release him to me. I later paid N5, 000 to
bail my son, he disclosed.
