In a Koranic school in Kaduna, Nigerian police discovered a center for recovery, torture and rape of young children. 300 students and students of various nationalities locked up and chained. The owner of the establishment and his six assistants were arrested. The children have been released and are currently receiving assistance from the authorities.
It was after repeated complaints from neighbors that the Nigerian police went to inspect a Koranic school in the Rigassa district of Kaduna in northern Nigeria. Behind the big pink wall was what the Nigerian media now calls the " House of Horror ".
Some 300 children lived there, officially to learn the Koran. In fact, many were tortured and raped according to Yakubu Sabo, the police spokesman for Kaduna State. " We found a hundred students, including children as young as nine ," he added. " They were chained in a small room, with the aim of correcting and empowering them ." The police also found a torture chamber where students were hanging on chains and beaten.
On the few photos in the Nigerian press, we see a child with back covered with open wounds, obviously caused by repeated lashes. Another has his feet chained to iron bars, while a crowd of young boys is crammed into an unhealthy yard. Victims from many countries, including Burkina Faso. One of them, quoted in several newspapers, said that young people were forced to " have homosexual relations " and that in three months of stay, a boy had died as a result of torture.
