10-year-old boy buried alive by brother for stealing their mum’s N1,000

A 10-year-old, Goodness Oshodi, has buried alive his stepbrother, Friday Oshodi, for allegedly stealing their mother’s N1,000.

The elder brother, who has been arrested by the police, said he took the action following the directive of his mother.

According to a trending video, the incident occurred on Tuesday evening at Apamisede, a community in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.

Goodness was however lucky as good Samaritans were still able to exhume him alive.

When he was asked why he decided to bury his brother alive, Friday said he was only carrying out the instructions of his mother to punish Friday for stealing her N1,000.

He claimed that at the time of the rescue of Goodness, their mum was in the church.

Confirming the incident and arrest of Friday, the spokesman of the Kogi State Police Command, William Aya, said he was undergoing interrogation.

Aya, a Superintendent of Police, said: “Yes, we are aware.

“The boy has been arrested, investigation is ongoing as to why and how such thing could happened.”
