The Lagos State Police Command has reacted to a viral video of a step-mother falsely accused of killing her stepson at the Abaranje Ikotun area of Lagos state, Southwest Nigeria.

The spokesman of the Lagos Police command, Benjamin Hundeyin, while reacting debunked the story, saying it is untrue.

This comes after an X user (formerly Twitter) Nwaadaz posted the video on her handle on Wednesday, 28 September 2003, with the caption: “Wicked step mother killed her stepson in Abaranje Ikotun Lagos and they wanted to dump his body before their neighbours caught them and raised an alarm.”

Hundeyin explained that the step mother did not kill the boy whose name is Prosper Obi.

He said the deceased, a 7-year-old was sick and they had to carry him to the hospital, adding that the boy had died on the way to the hosiptal when the woman carried the deceased back home.

The police official said the neighbours have been spreading false rumour about the death of Prosper.

“He was sick and they treated him at Igando General Hospital for sometime before his health deteriorate in the house.

“The neighbours are the ones spreading false rumor about his death,” Hundeyin told BBC.

He added that some hoodlums attacked the woman and fled when police arrived the scene

The police official also noted that they have released the woman who they earlier arrested from their custody.
