Thugs smash Toddler to death on Floor in Ondo

A two-year-old toddler has been smashed on the floor and killed, after thugs allegedly beat the mother at the Bajare Camp in the Idanre Local Government Area of Ondo State. The reportedly thugs attacked Beatrice on the instruction of a middle-aged woman, identified simply as Toyin, following a disagreement between the women.

One of the witnesses said the disagreement between Toyin and Beatrice led to a free-for-all. He added that Toyin left the scene and came back with some thugs who she allegedly ordered to beat up Beatrice. “During the scuffle, the baby boy, who was strapped to his mother’s back was smashed against the floor by one of the thugs, leading to his death.”

It was gathered that the thugs immediately fled the area, while the toddler was rushed to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Wole Ogodo, explained that the mother of the baby reported the matter at the police station, saying the suspect and her thugs had been arrested and investigation ongoing.
