Lagos Police manhunt father for allegedly beating children to stupor
by Adenle Ahmed Abiola · The Eagle OnlineThe Lagos State Police Command has launched a manhunt for a 48-year-old man identified as Kadiri Yusuf, aka Alado, accused of brutally assaulting two of his children.
It was learnt that the incident happened in the Orile Agege area of Lagos State.
According to Daily Trust, Yusuf allegedly inflicted severe bodily injuries on his children, aged 11 and 13 years.
The incident came to light when the head teacher of a primary school reported the case to the police.
The teacher, visibly angered by the suspect’s actions, alerted local authorities to the children’s plight.
Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the head teacher, around 5 pm on Friday, October 18, discovered that one of her pupils had serious wounds all over her body shortly after 7 am that same day.

Hundeyin noted, “The teacher further claimed that upon inquiry, the little girl of about 11 years confided in her how her father, one Kadiri Yusuf alias Alado, used to beat her.”
He added, “The little girl also confided in her teacher that her father also beat up her elder brother, whose age was also put at 13.”
Fortunately, the victims have been rescued and treated, and they have been placed in the safe custody of their sister.
The suspect, however, fled his home before the police arrived, and efforts are underway to apprehend him.
