The police have rescued 15
persons from a rehabilitation centre in Adamawa state.
Suleiman Nguroje, deputy spokesman
of the state police command, said the victims were found in harsh conditions in
Yola, the state capital, on Wednesday.
This is coming less than 24 hours
after 11 inmates were rescued at a religious centre in Zaria, Kaduna state.
Earlier, the police had raided
another religious rehabilitation centre in Kaduna, setting 147 inmates free.
He said only two of the rescued
persons were teenagers, while other victims were adults within the age bracket
of 22 and 46 years.
“They were being chained,
humiliated, victimised, subjected to unnecessary torture. They were in chains
for 24 hours without feeding and medication,” he said.
The deputy spokesman said the
police arrested a man and his three sons for allegedly operating the illegal
rehabilitation home.
He said investigation had
commenced on the activities of the four suspects.
Three weeks ago, the police
raided an Islamic centre at Rigasa, in Kaduna, rescuing at least 300 victims.
