| 'Used and dehumanized': Dozens of boys found chained in Muslim “school” in northern Nigeria |
| 2019-09-28 |
| [Rooters] More than 300 boys and men, some as young as five and many in chains and bearing scars from beatings, have been rescued in a raid on a building that purported to be an Islamic school in northern Nigeria, police said on Friday. Most of the freed captives seen by a Rooters news hound in the city of Kaduna were children, aged up to their late teens. Some shuffled with their ankles manacled and others were chained by their legs to large metal wheels to prevent escape. One boy, held by the hand by a police officer as he walked unsteadily, had sores visible on his back that appeared consistent with injuries inflicted by a whip. |

| #1 Why would the US not inspect, certify and license a mosque associated 'religious school' any different than neighborhood daycare? Or food handling facilities at a community center or church basement? |
