A man has been arrested, for domestically abusing his son by DSVA of his son’s inability to recite the Quran. This information was disclosed by Joke Ladenegan Oginni, the Spokesperson of the DSVA.
According to her, the agency received a report from a concerned neighbor who informed them of the 11 years old boy, who was physically abused by his father.
Investigations revealed that he had assaulted the boy because he could not recite the Quran.
The boy was taken to the hospital to receive medical attention, as the boy was bleeding from the ears and nostrils due to the beatings he received from his father.
The father of the boy has been detained in the Meiran Division of the Nigeria Police Force
“The DSVA gathered that the father meted the assault because the boy had not been able to recite the Holy Quran.
“Following repeated assaults, the boy has haematuria (blood in urine), two episodes of loss of consciousness, bleeding from the ears and nostrils,’’ she stated.
She further enjoins the public to be aware of any case of domestic or sexual violence against anyone or kids, and that concerned citizens should not fail to report to them when they discover such cases.
All these laws are out in place to protect children, because children are very vulnerable, and may not be able to hear pain like adults, Boone should be subjected to ill-treatment, regardless of whether they be children or not.
