A lady identified as Chinyere Odum has been arrested for dousing her 14-year-old son, Prince, with kerosene and setting him ablaze in Amuzukwu Ibeku, Abia State.
It was gathered that she took the extreme action because the boy stole a neighbor's MP3 player. She was said to have tied Prince up before settling him on fire. The boy is currently on admission at the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia.
Chinyere, who has a history of beating the victim with firewood, was subsequently apprehended and handed over to the police. However, in a twist of events, Prince pleaded that his mom should be freed, as he was at fault for stealing.
