“All the reasons she gave for torturing the boy were untrue. She said the boy was stealing and having sexual intercourse with a girl, but she could not substantiate it.
“It was her mother that told the Police that she was making the boy suffer for his father’s crime. She received a loan for Michael’s father who is her younger brother. But the brother ran away when he couldn’t pay back the loan.
“The mother told us that she has been paying back the loan to the Micro Finance Bank that she took the loan from for her brother, and that was the cause of maltreating the poor boy. The boy is still receiving treatment,” Akinborode added.
