Divorcee beats foster son to death over missing N50 note
The people of Ijegun, a suburb in Lagos, were thrown into mourning on Sunday when a woman identified simply as Iya Anu, allegedly beat her foster son, Seubo, 16, to death for allegedly stealing her N50 to buy Gala.
Iya Anu, a serial divorcee presently with her third husband, is a mother of four, living at 8, Amosu Street, Ijegun, Lagos, with her family and the boy.
According to a source in the neighbourhood, she would regularly beat Seubo, her husband’s nephew and her children whenever they misbehaved, even to the point of injuries.
It however took a different dimension on Saturday when the the teenager, misplaced a N1, 000 note given to him for an errand on Saturday. As a result, she starved Seubo throughout Saturday and when the latter could no longer withstand the hunger pangs, he sneaked out of the house at night to buy the famed sausage roll – Gala.
On discovering this, Iya Anu, accused him of stealing her N50 and furiously pounced on the boy, beating him severely. According to a neighbout who spoke to the press, the accused must have used a hot object to batter the boy as his body was full of burns. Giving her name simply as Balikis, she said, “Iya Anu began to beat him on Saturday night.
The beating continued till about 9am on Sunday when her husband and the other children had left for church. “She battered him till he gave up the ghost about noon. When she realised that the boy had lost consciousness, she cried for help but it was already late. At a point, she wanted to run away but she was promptly rounded up.” A similar incident had been reported to the police in June by Alexander Akinnurun, the Proprietor of Alex Group of Schools, Ijegun, the school Seubo attended before his death. According to the proprietor, “She has been perpetrating those acts for quite some time now and reports of her heinous deeds abound.
In June, Seubo who happened to be one of my pupils came to school with a disfigured face and wounds on his body. “I was so moved by this that I reported the incident to the police. I don’t know how far the police went with the matter but I never expected that such an ugly incident would still repeat itself.”
It was also learnt Iya Anu who had reportedly used a knife to injure her first daughter, Anu, on her shoulders for erring sometime earlier in the year.

Rihanna! Rihanna! good girl gone bad- will she learn from this?
Yesterday Nivea dropped her as their ambassador. The head of
Nivea’s parent company Beiersdorf revealed to German Media that they would not
be re-signing Rihanna because she doesn’t fit their family image.
'Rihanna is a no go. I do not understand how to bring the
core brand of Nivea in conjunction with Rihanna. Nivea is a company which
stands for trust, family and reliability.'
Do you think she’s going to change her ways ie: the nudity
posing, reckless drinking and smoking….’you

He stressed that he lives in Nigeria, but will never let Nigeria to live in him. Responding to the question on his recent nude picture, Charlyboy said, I wonder if people are creative in this part of the world at all, stating that some of the shows put up by the brand were actually meant to express the freedom that Nigeria so desires but never came.
He affirmed that no such nude picture was sent by the brand to the internet, but however advised Nigerians to begin to look at the most pressing political issues and all other positive things he had done in the country instead of wagging their tongues over some naked picture whose origin cannot be traced. According to CB, “It is all about the mindset, and I want to say that Nigerians of this generation only see, and believe in the façade and not in the reality”
Encouraging the congregations on how he got to where he is today, Charlyboy says “ it took sheer determination, consistency, doggedness and tremendous focus to stand where I’m today” He narrated how he had spent 7 years in the village just to begin what his parents never really wanted him to do.
