The Lagos police are seeking a 48-year-old man named Kadiri Yusuf, also known as Alado, for allegedly assaulting his two children in the Orile Agege area of Lagos.
Yusuf is accused of causing serious bodily harm to his children, aged 11 and 13 years.
According to NAN’s City and Crime, the incident was reported to the police by one of the children’s teachers.
Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed that on Friday, October 18, around 5 PM, the head teacher of a primary school in Orile Agege reported that at approximately 7 AM that day, she discovered that one of her pupils had multiple wounds on her body.
The teacher further stated that when she inquired about the injuries, the 11-year-old girl revealed that her father, Kadiri Yusuf, would frequently beat her.
