Abobo, of the Tasala community in the state's Demsa Local Government Area, was charged with stealing N21,000 that belonged to Ngularo Pemu.
According to reports, Pemu asked three local hunters—Kanisi India, 35, Paul India, 25, and Dickson Hani, 30—for help in resolving the issue.
According to reports, the suspects brutally beat the young man with a wire while dousing him in gasoline and the locally famous gin known as "ogogoro" to get him to reveal where he put the stolen money.
Before being abandoned by the roadside in Demsa, the minor was shackled to a tree, subjected to additional physical torture, and denied nourishment over the course of two days.
The accused hunters, who acknowledged abusing the youngster, claimed that a first inquiry at their Tasala office revealed that he "stole" the money but that he would not say where he hid it.
The hunters referred the case to their local government headquarters in Demsa for additional inquiry when they were unable to get the money back from the boy.
The senior officials manning the LG Headquarters continued to torture and starve the youngster for two days in an attempt to get him to confess, but to no avail.
