#JusticeForJibril

The worst child abuse of our time..

This is a story of a boy called Jibril Aliyu, who hails from Badariya Area of Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State. He was chained alongside animals by his 2 stepmother for 2 years.

His mother died 2 years ago. He was denied shelter, clothing, food, not to talk of health care.

He was maltreated by these same people like an animal to the extent that he was feeding on the remnant food of the animals he was tied with and even ate his faeces, until he was rescued by some Human Right Activist.

As a result of monstrous and nefarious treatment he was subjected to, he entire lost his senses and behaves exactly like an animal.

What is most surprising is the fact that his father was living in the same house with them while he undergoes this inhumane and savagely cruel treatment.

His 2 evil step mothers, together with his father are currently in police custody. While the 10 year old Jibril is undergoing treatment and rehabilitation at the Federal Medical Center Birnin Kebbi. What happened to Jibril is the highest level of barbarity and extreme cruelty.

I therefore call on the Kebbi State Government to ensure that the culprits face the full wrath of the law. I also call on the good people of Kebbi State and beyond to riseup en mass until justice prevails for Jibril

I pray that the villainous culprits will pay dearly for their atrocity!
