Father allegedly b£ats his 2-month-old son with hanger in Imo for disturbing his sleep, breaks the baby's arm leading to amputation

Mr Amatobi was said to have assaulted little Miracle with a plastic hanger and broke the baby's arm for disturbing his sleep.

The incident led to the amputation of the fractured arm at the Pediatrics ward of the Federal Medical Centre, FMC Owerri.

The 31yr old father Mr Amatobi was reported to have repeatedly hit the baby with a plastic hanger to stop him from crying until the right hand broke.

"The perpetrator, Mr. Confidence Amatobi, who hails from Amurie in Isu L.G.A  used a plastic hanger on the baby, simply because he was crying that the 20-year-old mother left to ease herself. 

He used wood and elastic bands to tie the baby's hand when he saw that hand was broken and swollen," Mrs Nnaji said.

"He locked the mother and baby to prevent  her from talking to neighbours or seeking help. He also took her phone from her. 

After two days she found her way out and sought help from her neighbours. 

The guy  was arrested by a vigilante but he escaped.  

By the time help came, the baby's hand was already decayed. 

The only option was to cut off baby Miracle's right hand from shoulder.

this is the saddest thing, that i have seen online.
