The police in Lagos have
arrested a woman, in whose freezer a six-year old boy, Treasure Akinsohun, was
found dead, hours after he was declared missing.
Treasure Akinsohun: found
dead in freezer
The freezer was normally
used to sell water and soft drinks.
The command’s spokesman,
DSP Bala Elkana confirmed the arrest on Friday to newsmen, saying that the
corpse had been deposited at the mortuary, while investigation was ongoing.
Why can’t I have her?
According to Elkana, on
April 23, at about 8.30pm, one Eunice Akinsohun of Oyedele Street, Alapere
ketu, reported her six-year old son, Treasure missing from about 9am.
He said the corpse of the
boy, a day later, was found in a freezer, inside the shop owned by Eunice’s
neighbour, one Patience Odowo. Patience’s shop was at 12 Orisigun Street also
in Alapere.
Odowo was promptly
arrested.
Sources had earlier told
NAN that Treasure and his mother lived in Ikorodu and had gone to Ketu to celebrate
the Easter holidays with his mother’s younger sister.
NAN gathered that Treasure
and some children in his aunt’s compound were playing when he suddenly
disappeared, but his body was later found inside the freezer at Orisigun
Street, about five streets from where his mother’s younger sister resides.
The bereaved mother, Mrs
Eunice Akinsohun told journalists that she noticed her son was not among the
other children playing in the compound.
She said when she asked for
his whereabouts, the other children could not give an answer, forcing her to
raise an alarm.
After a frenetic search for
the boy was fruitless, she reported the boy missing to police at Alapare Police
Station.
Ojo Akinsohun: the boy’s
father
“I also called my husband
on the phone to inform him of the development. Before I got back home, a crowd
had gathered at my sister’s house at Alapere to help in the search for my son.
“Throughout that day we
couldn’t locate the exact place where he was. When my husband eventually
arrived, he also tried his best with my sister’s husband and some elders in the
community.
“He was still not found.
That was how we went back to Ikorodu that night in anguish,” she said.
The woman said she and her
husband were on their way back to Alapere from Ikorodu when they received a
phone call that her son had been found in a woman’s freezer at Orisigun Street.
“Immediately I saw the
corpse of my son, I fainted. I was later revived at the hospital. What surprised
me was how my son got into a freezer at another street.

“I still don’t understand
how he got into the freezer as I speak with you. But it is left for the police
to investigate,” she said.
The father of the boy, Mr
Ojo Akinsohun, said he was preparing to go out when he received a phone call
from his wife that their son was missing.
“I heard that the night my
son was missing, the daughter of the freezer’s owner was sent to bring sachet
water from the freezer, but she didn’t find the boy inside. I was surprised how
the boy got into the freezer.
“I want police to
investigate it and get to the root of the matter. I can’t allow my son to die
in vain,” he said.
