What A Mess! Uncle Damages 13yrs Old's Private Parts

Parents, please if you are giving your child out as apprentice, make sure it's to a person who treats their own kids well, to avoid a situation where such wickedness will be visited on your child.

13-year-old Pelumi Fawibe, an apprentice photographer, is yet to recover from pains after his boss, Olajide Olaoye, reportedly damaged his scrotum while he was beating him with a wire for being obstinate.

The young boy had been living with the boss for three years
before the incident happened on Sunday, February 15, at his shop in Ile Epo bus stop, Badagry, Lagos.

Pelumi was said to have been admitted to the Badagry General Hospital, while the boss was arrested by the police from Area K, but was later released.

Residents around Olaoye's shop said that the boss had consistently assaulted the young boy.

An eyewitness, who identified himself only as Gbade, said the extent of the injury to Pelumi's private parts prompted people to alert the police.

He said, "The boy's scrotum became swollen and was bleeding after he beat him up. He claimed the wire hit the boy's private parts by accident. We invited the police who arrested him, but he had been released. He said the boy was stubborn. Is that how to discipline?"

It was gathered that the boss had told Pelumi to wash his clothes on that day, but the boy forgot and went to play with his friends and returned in the afternoon.

The action was said to have infuriated Olaoye who instructed him to kneel down and raise a piece of stone. It was learnt that the stone fell from Pelumi's hands on the head of a boy in front of him.

The young boy, who spoke in Yoruba, said:
"I am learning photography under him (Olaoye). He is my uncle and I have been living with him for three years. The stone fell from my hands because I was tired. He picked a wire and started beating me until it hit me in the scrotum. The spot is still paining me. I don't want to live with him again; I want to go back to my mother."

The boss, in his reaction, said he would take him back to his mother soon.

He added that "it was a mistake. I would have taken him back to his mother, but he is still receiving treatment at the hospital and I want him to recover fully."
