Life in a Nigerian torture 'school': I was treated like an animal

Police discovered more than 70 young men and boys in shackles when they raided a private Islamic school in northern Nigeria.

Hundreds have been freed from three similar institutions in recent weeks.

Islamic boarding schools, known as Almajiris, are common across the mostly-Muslim north of Nigeria.

Parents sent their children hoping to correct their poor behaviours as well as acquire Islamic education, those rescued have alleged being tortured and sexually abused.

Rabiu Umar was one of those rescued from the school in the town of Daura, which is the birthplace of President Muhammadu Buhari,

Rabiu told BBC Nigeria correspondent Mayeni Jones his story.

Northern Nigeria bringing weird things for the world to see.
A lot of mentally deranged folks over there

I have a strong feeling that most of the notoriously HEARTLESS bandits, cattle rustlers and kidnappers operating in Nothern States are either escapees or 'graduates' of these wicked informal institutions. No way anyone will come out this HELL with their sanity and emotional feeling intact because the wicked operators destroy their victims' humanity with their acts of inhumanity.

From a shiit hole indeed, not surprised at all... this wicked contraption must cease to end soon

My beloved Africa... Who cursed this continent that made it this way..
Some of us really act as if we are not humans.

This is one of the reasons the whites still feel they are superior to us or they are a "more advanced creation"

Its so sad....

We should burn down the shiit hell called North.

No, this is al-jannah firdaus

what black men do to each other

Madonna university is next.


Create a shithole for children and collect huge sums from parents all in the name of religion.

And people were aware before now, BBC is the new eye of God

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Southern Nigeria and Nothern Nigeria have very little in common. That amalgamation was a monumental error.

pissful people

Hell is real

You will agree with me that short videos engages potential customers more than mere text and images. Animate your business today.

These people are a relic of a lost age, walahi. It still amazes me how we came together as a country

The mod that removed this post from front page after moving it there should come state his/her reason! Or is it because it has to do with Islam? Meaning una wan cover the matter abi wetin? It should better be a mistake that you mistakenly press remove!

Modified: They yaf put it back!

Government in the North need to regulate activities of those traditional correction homes. They have been in existence long before now. You would believe it that some notable northern leaders of today passed through this school, not necessarily as deviant children.
