She reaffirmed that the administration of Governor Yahaya Bello is dedicated to protecting both boy and girl children and warned that anyone abusing their charge will be subject to the full force of the law.

“The victim Friday Oshodi is currently in our care, while the key suspect Goodness Oshodi is being sought by the police. This represents the utmost level of wickedness. How is a human being to be buried alive?

“The woman who demanded that this young kid be punished is still at large. I’m promising the populace that she will be detained and subjected to the full force of the law,” she said.

Recall that one Goodness Oshodi is accused of burying his younger brother Friday Oshodi alive after finding out that he had stolen money.

The incident took place at Kogi State’s Silo Community, Apamisede, in Zango Daji’s Adavi Local Government Area.
