Man disfigures 14-year-old nephew’s face for stealing N3000 from a neighbor (graphic images)

A teenage, Abdul Isa, is currently under intensive care after his uncle battered him until his whole face was disfigured.

According to an Instagram post made by a user “Bennysprofile”, Isa and his uncle, Musa, reside around the Gangare area of Jos North Local Government Area in Plateau State.

The 14-year-old boy had stolen the sum of N3000 naira from their neighbor but was later retrieved from him and returned. However, Musa, who was infuriated by the act, pounced on Isa and savagely beat him, making him sustain different injuries and badly shaped head.

Read what the Instagram user posted below.

"This is Abdul Isa, a fourteen year old boy, resident in gangare metropolis of Jos North LGA of Plateau State. He was brutally beaten to this state by his Kawu (Uncle) by name Musa for stealing a neighbor’s money summed to be ₦3,000. The said money was retrieved from him and given back to the owner. In my(@jossybliss) chat with him on his hospital bed where he’s receiving treatment, he narrated the incident to me in hausa language.

"As a result of his condition, he was not accepted at the Plateau State Specialist Hospital, he was taken to a private hospital where he’s being treated. He has stitches on his face, and swellings as a result of the assault on him. My question is, why treat this young lad like a hard core criminal when you’re meant to be a father to him, seeing he lost his father at a tender age and also without a mother ? What do you expect of a young boy as Abdul who has not been to school all his life but the street as his favorite spot ? I want to call on all relevant authorities to ensure Abdul Isa gets justice for this inhuman act perpetrated on him. The perpetrator is in custody of the Nigeria Police Force C Division in Jos North LGA of Plateau State.

"l really commend the effort of the inspector who insists on the boy’s healthy recovery and justice for him too. And to the Doctors and Nurses who are up and about to see Abdul regain himself fully, I say kudos to you all. I feel the pain of this young lad,who was all teary as I conversed with him. I don’t think he deserved this ill treatment meted on him by his uncle, let this serve as deterrence to everyone manhandling children in this manner. If you can’t love them and treat them right ,or correct them as ought to, please leave them alone… Do unto them as you would want others to do yo you!".
