The victim was living with his father, his stepmother and her two children at Abule Agbon, located between Kobape and Abeokuta.

After being stabbed by his father, the 11 years old reportedly pretended to be dead before his father abandoned him in the bush.

Favour crawled out of the bush and he was been rescued by a good Samaritan, who took him to the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta.

A source, who pleaded anonymity, said Favour’s father always maltreated him, adding that his father allegedly claimed that the son embarrassed him “too often by reporting him to the Baale each time he is assaulted by father.”
