 The father of 12-year-old boy chained for two years alongside animals in Kebbi has been charged to court


The father of Jubril Aliyu, the 12-year-old epileptic boy who was chained and locked up in an animal stall for two years in Kebbi state, has been charged in court for cruelty.

Giving an update on Jubril, the spokesperson of the state police command, DSP Nafiu Abubakar, said investigations showed that Jubril had Down Syndrome and that his father, Aliyu Umar, decided to chain him up because he had taken him to several native doctors but none of them could treat him.

 

Abubakar said Umaru was found culpable for being cruel to his son and has been charged in court.

 ”The Kebbi State Police Command wishes to inform members of the general public that on 09/08/2020 at about 1440hrs, information revealed that one Jibrin Aliyu,male, aged,12 years of Badariya area, Birnin Kebbi, was tied to a rope alongside animals and chickens for a period of two years after the demise of his biological mother without treatment and feeding in their residence.

Upon receipt of the report, detectives attached to the Divisional Police Headquarters, Birnin Kebbi, swiftly rushed to the scene, rescued the victim and took him to Sir Yahyah Memorial Hospital, Birnin Kebbi, for medical attention.

In the course of investigation, it was discovered that the victim, Jibrin Aliyu is a patient of Down Syndrome and his father, Aliyu Umaru has admitted to have tied him with a rope because he had taken him to various native doctors for medication up to the extent of selling some of his properties but all in vein.

Instead of his father continuing with his medication, he decided to subject him to such inhumane and degrading treatment in order to prevent him from roaming about in the town, stoning peoples’ vehicles as well as injuring himself which could lead to his death.

In the light of the above Aliyu Umaru was found culpable of being cruel to his son and has been charged to court accordingly.”

Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission NIDCOM, has appealed to the Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC to pay the allowances, tuition, and other incentives of students on its scholarship scheme in the United Kingdom as most of them have turned to beggars on the streets of the UK.   During the recent National Assembly probe of the NDDC, it was revealed that Nigerian students awarded scholarships to some universities in the United Kingdom, have been abandoned by the commission as they have not received a dime in allowance or school fees from the commission.
