The police in Lagos are looking for a 48-year old man, Kadiri Yusuf alias Alado, for allegedly brutalising two of his children in the Orile Agege area of Lagos.
The suspect is alleged to have inflicted grievous bodily injuries on his two children, aged 11 and 13 years.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident said around 5pm on Friday, October 18, the head teacher of a primary school in Orile Agege, reported that at about 7am of the same date, she found out that one of her pupils had wounds all over her body.
It was gathered that the incident was reported at the station by the teacher of one of the children.
Hundeyin said the teacher further claimed that upon inquiry, the little girl of about 11 years, confided in her how her father, one Kadiri Yusuf alias Alado, used to beat her.
“The little girl also confided in her teacher that her father also beat up her elder brother whose age was also put at 13.
“The victims have been retrieved and treated. They have also been handed over to their sister for safe custody.
The suspect fled from home before the arrival of the police. Efforts are on to apprehend him,” he said.
