Nigerian police rescue 67 from 'inhuman' conditions at Islamic 'school'

Police in northern Nigeria rescued nearly 70 men and boys from a second purported Islamic school where they were shackled and subjected to"inhuman and degrading treatments."

The raid occurred on Oct 12 in Sabon Garin in the Daura local government area of Katsina state. Police in a statement yesterday said they were working to reunite the victims with their families. Police arrested one man, 78-year-old Mallam Bello Abdullahi Umar, for running what they called an"illegal detention/remand home."Reuters

Islamic schools, known as Almajiris, are common across the mostly Muslim north of Nigeria. Muslim Rights Concern , a local organisation, estimates about 10 million children attend them.
