The Kaduna police command says its operatives have rescued a 67-year-old man who was reportedly locked up in a room for nearly 20 years.
He said the man, identified as Ibrahim Ado, was found naked and locked up in a room at a house located on Bayajidda road in Kaduna after community health workers placed a distress call,
“After spending a few minutes trying to open the door, they succeeded and saw an old man seated on the floor naked with no clothes. “We quickly rushed him to the hospital and the commissioner of police ordered for a full scale investigation to be carried out with a view to unravelling whatever it is behind this.”
“We cannot say that. It was part of the information that we received from that place, that the man was there for almost 20 years. But we cannot lay our hands on any of his immediate family members to tell us for how long he has been there and why they decided to treat him that way,” Jalige said.
