A boy suspected to be 10 years of age has been rescued from his
step-mother who locked him up with birds and other animals for two
years.
Reach.ng understands that the young boy whose name is revealed
as Jibril Aliyu had lost his mother two years back, and has since
then been ill-treated by his step-mother in Kebbi State.
As seen in the now-viral video shared by a Facebook user, Maryam
Shetty, the teenager has become weak and tattered as a result of
long malnourishment and torture by the woman described as ‘wicked’
by many.
However, the boy has been rescued and admitted to the Sir Yahaya
Memorial Hospital in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital, while the
wicked stepmother is as well arrested and handed to the police,
Naija News understands.
From one of the videos shared by Shetty on her social media
account, the alleged stepmother of the boy could be seen
interacting with police officers rudely, showing no act of
remorsefulness. The woman when questioned why she tied the boy in
such a place and not also giving him food, denied the
allegations.
According to Maryam Shetty in her caption while sharing the
video, “the boy has lost his mother a few years back, and his
alleged guardian subjected him to eating from remnants of food and
animals’ dung.”

She condemned the woman for her response even in police custody,
describing her as ‘evil’ for showing no remorse.
“Videos of an evil remorseless woman from Kebbi State that
tied up an orphan who lost his mum for 2 whole years like a goat!
He is impoverished and only ate from remnants of food and animal’s
dung. Such cruelty….” said Shetty.
On his part, when contacted on the incident, the spokesman for
Kebbi Police Command, confirmed the arrest of the woman whose name
is yet to be revealed, noting that she is now in police
custody.
He noted that the police command is still investigating the
matter and would charge the culprit to court when done.
