There’s a saying “spare the rod and spoil the child” and Africans really believe in it. But sometimes, the rod really should be spared. Like in this situation!
Kai! Just look at!
This little boy’s name is Chukwuma Okafor. And he’s eight years old and lives in Abuja.
Chukwuma was beaten to within an inch of his life by his father!

WHO WILL SAVE LITTLE OKAFOR FROM HIS FATHER’S WICKEDNESS?Eight Years old Chukwuma Okafor is presently on admission at…Posted by IG Wala on Wednesday, March 2, 2016
According to IG Wala, Chukwuma was dumped in school after his dad had dealt with him.
“Eight Years old Chukwuma Okafor is presently on admission at the Kubuwa General Hospital after a brutal beating by his own father. This child was taken to hospital by a Nun whom was said to have been contacted by his school teachers. Yesterday morning, his own father drove him to school in a bad shape and dumped him.“He went on to say that this has happened repeatedly in the past.
“The school teachers confirmed that on several occasions, they made effort to intervene on the boy’s situation but the father proved stubborn and even threatened them. The scars on the boy’s head & back shows how long he has been maltreated by his own father.“
And that Chukwuma’s father justified his actions by saying he was a disciplinarian.
“THE FATHER IS JUSTIFYING HIS ACTIONS BY WAY OF CLAIMING TO BE A DISCIPLINARIAN AND HE SAID HIS ARREST BY THE POLICE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE OF EMBARRASSMENTS THAT HIS CHILD KEEP BRINGING TO HIS FAMILY.“Chukwuma’s father had no right to do this, no matter what the boy did! No right at all!! This is just too extreme!!!
