Operatives of the Bauchi Police Command have rescued a 5-year-old boy who was found chained by his father and starved for three days.
The rescue came after a tip-off from concerned neighbours in the Gwallagan Mayaka area in the Bauchi metropolis.
The police got wind of the child abuse on July 3, 2024, when the ward head of Gwallagan Mayaka area of Bauchi reported that he received information from a good Samaritan, a resident, who revealed that his wife Amina (not real name) had informed him that she saw a 5-year-old boy of their neighbour tied with a chain inside a room situated at the same address.
