 7-Year-Old Kaduna Boy Loses Legs After Father’s Brutal Punishment For Stealing Biscuits

 

The Kaduna State Government has rescued 7-year-old Abubakar Sani after his father, Sani Tanimi Maishago, allegedly poured boiling water on his legs as punishment for stealing biscuits in Lere Local Government Area.


According to reports, Maishago tied the boy’s legs before scalding them and, along with the child’s stepmother, locked him in a room without proper food or care for over 20 days.


Commissioner for Human Services and Social Development, Hajiya Rabi Salisu, visited Abubakar at Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital, where doctors were forced to amputate both legs below the knee due to severe infection and tissue decay.


"The boy’s condition was reported to the ministry about nine days ago. By then, his legs were infested with maggots and severely rotten," the commissioner said.


Both the father and stepmother have been arrested and will face prosecution. Salisu reaffirmed the state’s commitment to eradicating child abuse, emphasizing that justice will be served.


Dr. Abdulkadir Musa, Chief Medical Director of the hospital, confirmed that the injuries were beyond treatment and only prosthetic limbs could help the boy regain some mobility.


He urged parents to adopt non-violent disciplinary measures to prevent such irreversible harm.
