Hundreds of boys and young men freed from ‘torture house’ in Nigeria
More than 300 boys and young men have been rescued after they were chained, beaten, starved and sexually assaulted in a building in northern Nigeria.
The youngest victims were about five years old, and the oldest were in their late teens. Some had their ankles manacled together, while others were chained by their legs.
Several victims had visible marks on their bodies that showed they had been tortured, police in the city of Kaduna said.
