They confessed burying him in the garden after laying with his body for 8 days in the hope he would be reincarnated.

When his remains were exhumed, he was discovered to have actually had extreme poor nutrition, rickets, anaemia and stunted growth thanks to his minimal diet. His decaying teeth were falling out and he had 5 fractures that would have caused awful pain.

The review stated the case showed the need for 'experts to be confident to ask questions about various cultures and belief systems without fear of being perceived as inequitable'.

The review said their hostility towards those in authority caused the focus of professionals to be 'diverted or distracted' from the kids's welfare while the couple's various name changes and aliases made it more challenging for firms to track and share details efficiently.

It noted that Abiyah 'was just ever seen by a small number of specialists throughout his life time, and for a restricted time only'.

According to records, he was seen by a health visitor in April 2016 soon after his birth, and the following month for a check-up.

There was some contact in 2018 with a regional authority social employee in London and four sees to a kids's centre in Birmingham, but the evaluation said: 'Records of these contacts and interactions are really limited, strengthening that there was very little insight into (Abiyah's) existence, health or well-being.'

Abiyah's parents' trial heard authorities visited the Clarence Road residential or commercial property in Handsworth 3 times, consisting of in February 2018 when Abiyah lived.

The evaluation mentioned that with regard to this visit 'no details were recorded' about Abiyah, with his presence 'practically invisible on review of records'.

Elsewhere, the evaluation kept in mind 'no exploration or interest' from the health going to service, run by Birmingham Community Health Care NHS Foundation Trust, about Abiyah's mother's desire for a home birth with no medical intervention.

In March 2020, health visitor records stated it had actually been noted at a securing conference that Abiyah had actually not been seen by them considering that his six-week evaluation, with visits at the one and two-year marks considering that his birth not attended.

He had actually likewise not received any routine immunisations. While a follow-up query was prepared, there was no record of why it never ever took place, although the review stated that the coronavirus lockdown which began that year likely contributed.

The various authorities coming into contact with the kid's household revealed a 'general absence of knowledge or evaluation of the parents' belief systems', resulting in an 'inadequate understanding about the effect on his care, the review stated.

It added that his moms and dads' behaviour 'often distracted or diverted expert attention' far from his security and well-being.

The review specified: 'Parental resistance of recommendations, or authority ultimately resulted in (Abiyah) becoming unnoticeable and lost from professional view.'

The report consisted of reflections that while social workers had know the household's culture and moms and dads' beliefs and lifestyle, they appeared not to have actually considered 'with detailed curiosity' the effect on Abiyah's security and health and wellbeing, 'such as if undoubtedly his total requirements were being satisfied'.

Tai, the 42-year-old son of a former Nigerian federal government authorities, was imprisoned for 24-and-a-half years at Coventry Crown Court in December while 43-year-old Naiyahmi received a 19-and-a-half-year sentence after being founded guilty of triggering the death of Abiyah, child cruelty and perverting the course of justice.

Judge Mr Justice Wall stated the reality the couple had taken no pictures of the kid in the last 4 months of his life was 'a clear sign that you understood already how sick he was'.

The judge informed them: 'Abiyah died as an outcome of your wilful neglect of him. He was badly stunted in his growth - at almost four years of age, he was buried in the clothing of an 18-month-old. 'It is challenging to imagine a worse case of overlook.'

An NSPCC spokesperson stated: 'While the parents of little Abiyah are eventually responsible for his death, this evaluation brings into sharp focus why it is essential that specialists demonstrate interest and scrutiny.

'This means asking probing concerns, signing up with up and sharing details and undertaking quality evaluations to notify an understanding of the impact of the parents' behaviour on the child.

'This is particularly challenging when moms and dads are unwilling and resistant to engage, which in this circumstance took the focus away from the safety of this little boy till unfortunately it was far far too late.
