The police at Ejigbo division Nigeria have begun a manhunt for a man who allegedly beat his 2-year old son to death and buried him secretly in Lagos, western Nigeria.

The suspect identified as Oni Mama reportedly beat Deji to death while the boy was crying and running after him in the morning.

The incident happened at 5 Fashola Street, Ejigbo, Lagos, where the suspect resides. P.M.NEWS learnt after the boy died in the presence of the neighbours, his father packed the body into a sack and buried him secretly at an undisclosed location in the area.

The suspect was living alone with the victim because the mother abandoned him after
she had a quarrel with her husband. She went to marry another man.
Since then, Oni Mama has been finding it difficult to cope with taking care of the boy
and at the same time going to work everyday.
