Mum ties her young son to a wooden pole at home and goes out (VIDEO)

Sunday, January 25, 2026 A video of a boy tied and padlocked to a wooden column has sparked outrage. 

The video shows the boy with his hands tied behind his back and secured to the wood column. He is also seen leaning against a mattress on the floor for support, unable to move due to the position he was placed in. 

According to activist Adetoun, who shared the video, the boy's mother was the one who tied him up and then went out. 

Some viewers allege the incident occurred in Lagos, but this has not been confirmed. 

The activist asked for help to locate the boy and help him.
