The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested two Islamic clerics in Owo, Ondo State, over the alleged torture and abuse of two minors under their care.

The arrest was confirmed in a statement issued on Thursday, February 5, 2026, by the Ondo State Public Relations Officer of the NSCDC, Daniel Aidamenbor.

According to the statement, the suspects — Adebodun Muideen (30) of Al-Balaagul-Mubeen Arabic and Islamic Centre and Oladejo Musiliu (35) of Abdullah Arabic and Islamic Centre — were apprehended following a report filed by the Kids and Teens Resource Centre, a child-rights advocacy organisation. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Aidamenbor explained that the case was reported on Wednesday after a class teacher noticed multiple injuries on the two boys and alerted the advocacy group.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the children, whose parents reside in Osun State, had been sent to Owo to study the Qur’an while also attending conventional school.

The NSCDC spokesperson stated that the incident allegedly began when one of the minors returned from school with an Android mobile phone and was unable to explain how he acquired it.

During questioning, the second boy was reportedly implicated, after which the clerics allegedly inflicted physical punishment on both children, resulting in serious injuries.

“The act is a total violation of the Child Rights Act and the Ondo State Child Protection Law,” the statement read.

Aidamenbor disclosed that the suspects had confessed during interrogation and would be charged to court for offences bordering on assault and child abuse.

He warned religious institutions, parents, and guardians against subjecting children to unlawful punishment, stressing that any form of violence against minors constitutes a criminal offence under Nigerian law, regardless of justification.

The NSCDC spokesperson commended the prompt intervention of the Kids and Teens Resource Centre and urged members of the public to promptly report suspected cases of child abuse to security agencies.

Put them behind bar and lock them up forever.


Islamic breeds the worst form of terrorists in the world.

If not that NSCDC decided to step up and take over,na so sharia court with their one sided laws for just sit down look and throway face

Well, opinion rescinded.

This is pure wickedness against the student.

Some of these Alfas and Some Rev. Fathers them ehn. Na only God go judge o

why is it that most of these Alfas are wicked? if they beat you ehn

Child abuse in religious settings is utterly unacceptable, no matter the faith. Kudos to NSCDC for swift arrests. These clerics exploited vulnerable Quranic pupils, and justice must follow to protect innocents.

Na so them discipline peller till he convert to Christianity. I keep saying it, religion is never the problem, it's the people practicing it. Everyone have their own perspective of the written words and therefore, confusion with ignorance would always take the frontseat, in its practical execution

Boko Haram group of religion

They are always ugly

Waiting for the mods

Hisbah Hisbad won't see anything wrong in what these potential terrorists did to the pupils.

They know you are all deceiving yourselves
Nothing like that

Pedophiles and children abusers everywhere. It's so common among the so called religious leaders in recent times. Putting your children under anyone without proper supervision is risky.

Only God knows the number of thugs such Islamic clerics have created in the society. Many of their students run away from their study centers to join rogue.

They should be punished if guilty!

The Prophet we follow actually says there should be no harm!

You don't need to harm the one you wish to correct....

I no understand.

How pedo take enter this report?

Wait, make I go read the report again.

If I vomit I will hold you responsible
Next time add Graphic, viewers discretion adviced

This one na normal thing for islamia a.k.a madrasa

Makarantan allo, body go tell you. Thats why Almajiris are rugged

Some of them even sexually abuse the female underaged pupils but threaten them to keep it secret.

It's still surprises me when parents still send their kids to those quaranic schools, a lot of things happens there, from flogging to sexual abuse, why can't Nigerians use their heads when it's comes to religion

This is what all those bandits and Boko harams went through to make their hearts hardened. This is a training for something else not Quranic training.

You can’t beat someone like this and expect such to turned out good in life.

You're right.

I saw somewhere where they wrote, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people"

Whoever came up with that is correct because a gun won't just fire without humans pulling the trigger.

Teach a child the way he should go and when he grows up, he would not deviate from it, so says the holy scriptures.

A child that is raised in a violent way would surely go violent on the rest of society.

Just look up North and see what operates there.

Surely, you can only give what you have!




@hotseat

Although they went overboard, they were right to disciple the boys for coming home with an android phone which didn't belong to them.

The real i.deeots are the NSCDC officials preying on weak citizens to play to the gallery.
All of a sudden the pictures of the men are on social media

Another is the op who gave this a mumu title for islamophobes to have something to eat for the weekend.

When a muslim friend explained deep secrets and practices and believes of the Islamic religion to me recently, I then understand that most of this muslims are very wicked and heartless fellow.
Boko haram and bandits are not extremist in anyway, what they are doing is even the most acceptable way of being a Muslim and practicing Islam.

They go jus dey call them extremist for people wey neva know their core believes.
They're evil...

Nah pikin wey no get mama and papa, one Islamic buffon go beat like this...

You go beat my pikin like this? The remaining days that is left for the cleric to live, will be in prison, I will use my last breathe even sell my famiky house, if it will make the cleric sleep forever in prison..

Go look yourself in the mirror to clearly see the kind of person you are.
It's a shame you can't identify evil and wickedness anymore.
So quick to belief Alfa unsubstantiated story just to justify wickedness.
