Good evening bros

Please I need your advice.
A 13 years old boy broke my windscreen and the parents are reluctant to fix it. Please note that he didn't break it because he was playing football. Rather he jumped on the car that was parked and broke the windscreen during an event.
Since this incident happened the father didn't pay a dime and keeps giving excuses and didn't even show concern until the case was reported to the police.
The screen and fixing it is worth 65k.
I asked the man to either pay 55k or buy the glass while I pay for the fixing. The man has refused to pay and is saying he can only afford 30k. Now I want to charge the son to court for malicious damage. The incident happened in Lagos but the IPO is saying that remand home is in Abeokuta and I know there's one at opebi Ikeja.

Please advice me as I need to seek justice but don't really want the young boy to go to jail.

Yes you can..

Age of criminal responsibility in lagos is 13 years.

You can't sue him to court.

But you can simply sue him or take him to court.

That's not what he's asking, English is not our native language

The author wants to know if the young boy will be remanded in juvenile because of the parents wickedness and reluctance to pay and feeling nothing will happen cos it's a boy of 13 that broke the windscreen which he (the man) has repeatedly said to the face of the author.

Op collect the 3Ok make you lock up, the country hard and the Father may not necessarily have the money as he claims.

So why are you not speaking/writing in your native language?

I'm sure if u record a video of ursef speaking in English, I can point out which part of Africa u're from, and will even narrow it down to your specific ethnicity because your accent will give you away.

Even native speakers commit grammatical blunder sometimes but you guys come here to gaslight others as if you write or speak like the native speakers. BTW, are you a native English speaker? Ama give u a call, let's see how you flow yeye dey smell

Just stop saying "English is not my native language".

Take corrections and improve your non-native language

Kobojunkie and his alternate MrBrownJay1 like these kind threads.

My advice to you is this, if you can afford to handle the cost alone then my brother buy and fix your car by yourself and leave them for God. People are wicked these days and most times you just avoid anything that can lead to having issues with anyone. Some mudafukas can go to an unimaginable extent. Especially poor people.

carry that boy to barracks. Make those soldiers house am give am beans chop for 2 days.

The papa go bring 100k before he go bail him son.

Yes, you can report him to the juvenile court, but I don't think that system works here in Nigeria. Bro I would advise you to collect the 30k and let it go, everything in life happens for a purpose.
My humble opinion✌

Good evening all.
Hope you all had a fruitful day.
I've taken my time to go through all your comments and opinions, trust me my guy has gotten the best of advice from here and has taken his decision already.
He had to register on nairaland just to follow the thread.
He's well advised.

Thanks to you all

Glad you’ve concluded but i would have advice you repair your car and have an agreement with the parent to make him work for you for the cost. He needs to understand there’s consequences to his actions.

You can’t sue a minor
