A suspected kidnapper, Patrick Onyeka, was on Tuesday paraded by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly kidnapping and murdering a seven-year-old boy, identified simply as Ayuba.
Onyeka, a part time footballer and marketer of aluminum frames, was until his arrest last Thursday, living with his elder brother at Mumako Estate, Ikotun.
Onyeka’s brother’s residence shared a fence with that of Ayuba’s parents.
On January 12, Ayuba was said to have innocently walked into the compound where Onyeka lived. Unknown to little boy’s parents and other neighbours, Onyeka lured him into the house and strangled him to death with his bare hands.
