A Nigerian man, simply identified as Amandianaeze, has been beaten to coma by angry neighbours because he beat his lover’s son to death.

Amandianaeze reportedly got upset and severely battered the young boy for allegedly stealing his mother’s N20 to buy biscuits.

The sad incident happened in Agbaravo by Omuma Rd, Aba, Abia State.

According to reports, the incident happened yesterday and the boy was reprimanded, however, his mother’s lover resumed beating the next day and hit the boy’s head on the wall which lead to his death.

Upon confirming his death, neighbours descended on Eze and beat him till he lost consciousness. They also tried setting him ablaze but they only got kerosene.

Before they could get petrol, police had arrived at the scene to take the deceased and Eze away.

According to the Nation, a source said Amadi moved in with the deceased boy’s mother after her husband died.

A source said;

“The matter is too flimsy to result to the killing of that boy. Amandi has been sleeping with the woman since the demise of her husband.

“When he was beating the boy, people asked him to stop, but he refused.

“It was when the boy died that he wanted to run away and we learnt the boy’s offence was just that he eats his own mother’s twenty Naira biscuit. And the mother’s lover didn’t like it.”
