A 12-year old boy resident in Lokoja, Kogi State, protesting against reprimand by an elder sister has committed suicide.
The boy simply identified as Bobo, on Sunday reportedly, killed him self.
The deceased reportedly poisoned himself in their home by taking sniper, an insecticide.
The elder sister had punished him for some misdemeanor shortly after they returned from church, which the deceased bluntly refused to serve.
The father was said to have intervened by asking him to do frog jump instead.
It was gathered that after serving the punishment, the deceased retired into the room and took the poison, unknown to the parents.
The parents only got to know much later by which time the poison had begun to take effect.
All efforts to remedy the situation were to no avail.
Spokesman of the Kogi State Police Command, Williams Aya, said he was yet to get any report of the incident.
