” According to reports, the little boy who appears to be approaching adolescence has been chained and locked up inside a cage that already houses goats, somewhere in Lagos.
The boy who is reportedly made to go for days without having any food to eat, is said to be the houseboy to a man who lives at No 5 Offin Canal, at the Lagos Island market.
The picture of the boy locked and in cage was said to have been taken by a samaritan who seeks justice for the boy.
The person who sent in the report said:
“Please this is what a man in Lagos Island, did to the house boy staying with him. I think the right authorities should be invited, he needs to be brought to book. How can someone padlock a child’s leg and throw him where goats stay? And locked the gate too. Please help me share this but I want to remain anonymous. The house address is No 5 offin canal Lagos Island market.”
Funmi Adewola joining her voice with other Nigerians says “This is a height of wickedness against humanity, why do this to a little boy? What has our community turned to? Is the man such a terrible being that neighbours can’t call him to order or they all see the boy as less than human?
