There was pandemonium at Immiringi road in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on Sunday when a man simply identified as Vwede, reportedly flogged his two-year-old son to death.
He was said to have inflicted serious injuries on the boy on the fateful day.
After beating his son into stupor, he rushed the boy to Answer Clinic, along the Ruthmore Hotel Road, Immiringi.
The litte boy was confirmed dead on arrival.
The father, who had since fled the State immediately his son was confirmed dead, was accused of constantly torturing his son.
It was also gathered that the mother of the deceased may have abandoned the child with his father and run away.
Women Lawyers under the aegis of Do Foundation, have vowed to pursue justice for the victim.
