Recall, the mother of the victim said she had sent her son to get something by the roadside where he met this smoker who poured a small jar of petroleum on the 10-year-old boy and set him ablaze.
According to the boy, the suspect upon meeting him told him he will teach his mother a lesson by setting him on fire.
According to the evidence gathered, the suspect purchased gasoline and planned to set a famous Mallam in the community, as well as his family, on fire because he (Mallam) had revealed to his parents that he was addicted to wee smoking.
Speaking with Kasapa News, the father of the victim said that his wife prompted the Mallam to escape after the smoker stormed the Mallam’s house to burn it.
He said that his wife’s warning to the Mallam angered the smoker, thus his reason to teach her a lesson by killing her son.
The boy was admitted at the hospital after he suffered some severe burns all over his body.
Hon. Sylvester Tetteh, the MP for Ngleshie Amanfrom was touched by the story and paid the hospital bills of the boy which he has been discharged.
However, the case is with the Amanfrom Police Station and the suspect is yet to be arrested.
