An orphan boy, Favour Omokaro, is currently hospitalised after he was allegedly set on fire by his mother’s friend in Edo State.

Omokaro allegedly got fire burns on his face and chest region from the incident.

According to human rights activist, Kola Edokpayi, who shared the story on Facebook, Omokaro is recuperating in a hospital in the state.

He added that the police have invited the woman for questioning.

Edokpayi wrote,

Today at our office a young boy ( Favour Omokaro) was brought by a caring citizen with fire burn on his face, chest and stomach. After hearing from the boy on how he got all the skin burns on his body.

The boy told us that it was his friend’s mother that inflicted the pain on him. After listening to him, we swung into action, firstly to hear from the police station where the matter was first reported. And we made sure the police summoned the accused woman.

They quickly took the boy for medical treatment on our swift intervention.

This little boy is not well cared for before now. But we are prone to make sure that the boy gets a better home.

Lets care for the uncared for.
More update soon.
