House of horrors.
Via Daily Mail:
An Islamic boarding school has been revealed as a ‘house of torture’ after authorities raided the building to find its students were being detained and raped by staff.
Police discovered over 300 men and boys were being housed in the school in Rigasa area of Kaduna in northern Nigeria, and were regularly subjected to torture, sexual abuse, and starvation.
Students, who were of ‘different nationalities’, were chained, hung from the ceiling and beaten in a ‘torture chamber’ inside the school, authorities said.
Shocking images from the Islamic school show rows of the male students wearing ankle shackles, while some also have their hands chained together. Other photos show the torture victims with horrific scars on their backs.
One victim described how previous students had died from being tortured.
Parents have since been reunited with some of the children rescued by police at the Hajj transit camp in Kaduna.
