A 35-year-old man, Ibrahim Lawan, who was imprisoned by
his parents in Kano State has regained freedom after 15
years.
His hope for freedom from incarceration came to reality after
Ibrahim was rescued by a Police Medical Team and operatives of
Operation Puff Adder.
The victim was removed from confinement on Sunday in Sheka, a
community in Unguwar Fulani in Kumbotso Local Government Area of
the state.
He was later moved into an ambulance waiting just outside the
building and was whisked away in company with armed security
operatives.
The Public Relations Officer of the Kano State Police Command,
Abdullahi Haruna, confirmed this to Channels
Television.
He disclosed that Ibrahim has since been moved to the hospital
for medical attention and the police have commenced an
investigation into the incident.
Ibrahim Lawan 15 years after he was imprisoned by his parents in
Kano State.
Ibrahim’s rescue came just two days after the police in Kano
apprehended one Aminu Farawa.
Farawa was arrested for locking up his 30-year-old son, Ahmed
Aminu, inside his car garage for seven years.
He, however, claimed to have had his son locked up for three
years after suspecting him of drug abuse.
Ahmed was rescued by the police and taken to the Murtala
Muhammad Specialist Hospital in Kano for proper treatment.
Reacting to the incident, the Commissioner of Police in Kano,
Habu Sani, ordered that the case be transferred to the State
Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.
“We are currently investigating the matter to uncover the real
course behind this act, the victims are also in our custody at the
moment,” Haruna told Channels Television in a phone chat
while giving an update in the incidents.
Unlike Farawa, the command’s spokesman said no reason was given
by Ibrahim’s parents as to why they kept their son in detention for
15 years without proper feeding or medical care.
