"The victim is the first son of Mrs. Juliet whom she got out of wedlock before she got married to one Mr. Victor George, who resides at No 26, Owhor Street, Rumudolo, New Layout Rumuigbo in Rivers State.
The boy said he is from Degema in Rivers state, and he is just 8yrs old. The boy confessed that he is going through hell in the hands of his mother and stepfather, that they hardly feed him well and he is not in school either.
Last week as hunger wired the little boy, he took his supposed biological mother's 200 naira to buy Gala; the stepfather burnt his hand on a hot stove as punishment for this."
"This little boy need justice; good people of Nigeria, let save this little boy from this inhuman torture, wickedness, and suffering."
