The police in Kano have rescued another man who has been chained in a dingy room by his father for over 15 years.

The man identified as Ibrahim Lawan and said to be in his 30s, was reportedly chained for 15 years by his father in his apartment in Sheka quarters within Kano metropolis.
 

He looked emaciated and weak when he was rescued. He was rushed to the Nasarawa hospital in Kano where he is currently being treated. The reason Ibrahim’s father locked him up is yet unknown.

The police had also rescued a 10-year-old Down syndrome patient  who was chained up by his father and stepmother in an animal store for over two years in Kebbi.
