• In fact I was shocked when I read on the Daily Mail Online that more than 300 men and boys have been rescued from a ‘house of torture’ Islamic boarding school where they were detained and raped by staff for years in Kaduna, Nigeria.
• Many were found chained up and the detainees, mostly children, said they had been tortured, sexually abused, starved and prevented from leaving.
• Police raided a building in the city where the victims were kept in ‘the most debasing and inhuman conditions in the name of teaching them the Koran and reforming them’, a police spokesperson said.
• Police raided the Koranic school in Kaduna after an anonymous tip-off
• The owner of the school and six staff have been arrested over the ‘slavery’
• The men and boys emerged with chains on their feet and horrific scars.
• Kaduna state police spokesman said they found around 100 students ‘in chains’
• The investigations revealed the terrible scandal executed by the religious teachers on their students, subjecting their beating and torturing the students to reform them and make them responsible.
• In my view, those teachers are not different from Boko Haram which kidnapped hundreds of female students from their school.
• After some months most of the girls managed to escape, but when they returned to their families it was discovered that almost all of them were pregnant.
• The deeds of those teaches are not far from Daesh which raised the black flag and started killing the people and destroying the properties besides kidnapping the females as slave-women without any mercy and under the banner of Islam.
• It is apparent the main cause of backwardness which some of our Mulim countries are settling down is those fundamentalists who established the terrorism organizations which deceived the youth and brought them to the abyss.
• What is strange is that some of us are still sympathize with those criminal gangs whose slogan when you argue with one of them (Close Your Eyes to See Me)
• God Bless.
