The incident happened along Imiringi road in Yenagoa, the state capital on Sunday, September 26.
It was gathered that the suspect from Delta State, brutally flogged the boy and took him to a hospital along the Ruthmore Hotel road at Immiringi after he lost consciousness.
The father was said to have absconded to an unknown destination immediately hospital staff informed him that the boy had died.
