Police in Kwara State, in the center of the country, released 108 children and adults who were held against their will in an Islamic center. This school was both a Koranic school and a correctional house. The residents, mostly men and boys, some very young, lived in deplorable conditions and in a very unhealthy environment.
The Nigerian press is talking about another "house of horrors", the sixth of which the Nigerian police have been closed for a month. This time it was a religious center, half Koranic school, half reform house, near the airport of Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State.
The state police released 108 victims, the vast majority of whom were men and boys, allegedly ill-treated. Most of them were sick, according to a police spokesman, Okasanmi Ajayi.
" When we got there, we saw that most of them had infectious diseases," he says. This is because this center, which was full of boarders, was unhealthy. The living conditions were really lamentable. After getting out of there, some people told us that they were beaten, and we could see that some of them had been wounded. They could see that they had been abused. "
The imam was arrested. In his investigation, the police can already count on the teachers who were stationed at the center and his former residents.
In many cases, the victims of these six institutions claimed to have been chained and abused, sometimes tortured and raped.
