A disturbing incident has sparked outrage online after a 16-year-old boy was reportedly stabbed multiple times by a woman following a dispute involving her child.
According to posts shared on X (formerly Twitter), the teenager had allegedly told the woman’s child to go inside after the child had been playing outside for an extended period. What began as a verbal exchange reportedly escalated into violence, with the woman allegedly attacking the teenager with a sharp object.
Photos circulating online show the young boy with deep cuts to his face, shoulder, chest, and arm. He was said to have sustained multiple stab wounds before help arrived.
In a follow-up post, a family member claimed the woman also attacked the boy’s mother when she attempted to intervene. The family is calling for justice and has tagged the Nigeria Police and Lagos State authorities, urging them to investigate the matter.
As of the time of this report, the Lagos State Police Command has not issued an official statement regarding the incident. It remains unclear whether the suspect has been arrested.
The case has triggered widespread reactions on social media, with many calling for accountability and swift action to prevent further escalation.
Authorities are yet to respond.
