Never let life decide your fate..........

September 30, 2019 An angry mob on Monday morning burnt to death three suspected kidnappers at Dutse Alhaji area in Abuja, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) has reported. Their female victim was rushed to Kubwa General Hospital for treatment. At the scene of the incident, a Vehicle Inspection Office officer, Aminu Umar, told NAN that the incident happened at about 8:00 a.m. when a woman inside a moving vehicle was heard screaming for help. “The lady was suddenly pushed out of the vehicle while screaming. A motorist, who saw what happened, pulled over in front of the vehicle and blocked it under the Dutse Bridge. “From there, Okada riders (motorcyclists) surrounded the vehicle and told them to come out. “They asked them if the vehicle was one chance (kidnappers) and the next thing, they started beating them and eventually put fire on them and the vehicle,” he said. Sylvanus Ekpenyong, Route Commander, Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) said his men were alerted by some people while on duty at Dutse. “We were at Dutse junction and we got information that there was traffic building up before the Dutse Bridge because a vehicle was on fire. “We rushed down there to clear the road only to see three dead burnt bodies and a burnt vehicle. “When we made inquiries from eyewitnesses, they said it was one chance (kidnappers). “So we are here to ensure free traffic flow of vehicles but we don’t know the exact group of people who burnt them,” he said. A witness who is also a motorcyclist, Aliyu Mohammed, said that angry motorcyclists attacked and burned the suspects because it was obvious they were kidnappers as described by the victim. Mr Mohammed said it was the normal tactics of kidnappers operating in Abuja to push victims out of their moving vehicle after carrying out their illegal act. He, however, said that the incident of today would serve as a warning to all those involved in such activities within the territory. NAN also reports that security agents were on ground to ensure the bodies of the suspects were evacuated to a nearby mortuary as they ensured peace and free flow of vehicles in the area.

A house with over three hundred people in Rigasa community, Igabi local Government Area of Kaduna State has been unbundled by personnel of the Nigeria Police. Some of them according to the force are said to be from Burkina Faso, Mali and other African countries. Among the inhabitants were children who confess to be abused homosexually, while elderly say they subjected to daily recitation of the Holy Quran and prayers with torture. With chains on their legs and scars of injuries from torture, they disclose that Thursday evening’s unbundling of the place is liberation from slavery. Bello Hamza 42 years old another inmate said, he was tricked to the centre by his family who are interested in taking over my shared of our inheritance. In his words: “I have spent three months here with chains on my legs. Am supposed to be pursuing my Masters in University Pretoria South Africa. I got admission to study Applied Mathematics, but here I am chained. “They claim to be teaching us Quran and Islam, but they do a lot of things here. They subject the younger ones to homosexuality. “This is supposed to be an Islamic centre, but trying to run away from here attracts severe punishment; they tie people and hang them to the ceiling for that, but engaging in homosexuality attracts no punishment. “Within my short stay here, somebody had died as a result of torture. Others have died before my coming due to poor health and torture. They give us very poor food and we only eat twice a day; 11:00am and 10:00pm. “They have denied me alot of things here. I am a family man, I have responsibilities, but I am chained here not knowing what is happening to my family members. CP Ali Aji Janga while briefing newsmen at the site said, “we received an information that something is going on in this rehabilitation centre or Islamic center. So, I sent my DPO here to check what was going on. On getting here, we discovered that, this is neither a rehabilitation centre or Islamic school. “You can see it yourself that, small children, some of whom are brought from neighbouring African countrieslike Burkina Faso, Mali and others and from across Nigeria. Most of them are even chained. “These people are being used, dehumanized. You can see it yourself. “The man who is operating this home claimed that, parents brought their children here for rehabilitation. But, from the look on things this is not a rehabilitation centre. No reasonable parent will bring his children to this place. “So, we are going to investigate them and get to the root of the matter. We will find out the real motive behind this centre, and if they are found wanting they will be charged to court. “But first, we are evacuating all the people from this place to our station and we will make announcement for parents to come and recover their children.” He said. Meanwhile, the Proprietor of the centre simply identified as Malam said, all they do in the centre is teach people Islam. According to him, “All those allegations of torture, dehumanization and homosexuality are false and mere allegations. We do nothing here other than teaching people Islam. “They don’t do anything other than, recitation of Qur’an, pray and worship God. Those chained are the stubborn ones who attempt running away. Those who don’t attempt running away are not chained. Some were chained before and after settling down, they were freed. “Most of them were brought by their parents from across the country and others from outside the country.” He said. Meanwhile, at the end of the raid, the inmates were evacuated from the premises in about 15 Danfo buses to the Police headquarters. -Tribune
