And in the early hours of today Nov. 20th, the man asked his grandmother for the rent she'd collected from the tenant in the house - N15,000 - and when the grandmother refused, the two got into a shouting matching and before anyone could stop him, he picked a cutlass and attacked the old lady. 

When neighbours got wind of what he'd done, they descended on the boy and nearly beat him to death. He was later handed over to the division of Ukoro police station officers, who came and took him away.
