Justice For Jibril: 12-Year-Old Boy Rescued After Being Tied Up For Two Years By Stepmothers, Suspects Arrested (videos)

A 12-year-old boy identified as Jibril Aliyu who was tied up for two years by his two stepmothers in Kebbi state has been rescued.

According to reports, the young boy who hails from Badariya Area of Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State was allegedly subjected to inhuman treatment by his step-mother, two years after the death of his mother.

Due to lack of food, Jibril was forced to feed on the remnant food of the animals he was tied with and even ate his excreta until he was rescued by some human right activists.

However, as a result of inhumane treatment he was subjected to, he entire lost his sense of reasoning and now behaves like an animal.

Jibril was experiencing such cruel and monstrous treatment while his father was living in the same house with them without intervening.

His two stepmothers, together with his father have been arrested and are now in police custody.

Jibril is also undergoing treatment and rehabilitation at the Federal Medical Center, Birnin Kebbi.

Watch videos of the boy after being rescued;

Stories like this break me up so badly I lose my ability to write. How can a father watch his son treated like an animal, and the step “mothers” who most likely have their own kids do this? Dear God how do you keep such people alive? This boy has been broken almost irredeemably

How do people do wicked things like this and sleep well at night. I always say it, once a mans conscience is dead, he is finished! I am seeing so much pain on the time line today. It’s still amazing that he is alive. He can’t even stand well, watching him walk just broke me.

As much as we condemn the acts of the parents, we have praise and commend those (the Human Right Activists) who have saved the life of this young boy by rescuing him from the hands of evildoers. Thank you for saving his life. God bless you @manirjegah and others#JusticeForJibril pic.twitter.com/cUFPqvXoWS

Omg! This brought tears to my eyes. This is so sad to watch! How can 2 mothers collide to do this to a defenseless child just because his mother is dead?!! Those women don’t deserve to have children of their own. To think the father is there witnessing this ill treatment? Omg

The most annoying thing is some useless lawyers will stand for this culprits in court.
Forget section 36(6) or principle of natural justice and fair hearing. This people deserve to convicted, even if they plead not guilty, the Judge should record it as guilty. #JusticeForJibril pic.twitter.com/nuCKNHlCID

I can imagine the trauma Jibril will go through for the rest of his life, chained alongside animals??? He needs more than just physical healing..mental & psychological overhaul.
Just fly him out of the country to undergo all of this, Nigeria alone is saltsore

It’s really unexplainable… the fact that it lasted for a long time with no one checking it…out prriorities as a society are really misplaced.. if it was a case of an adult girl doing what the society deems to be unacceptable you would have heard about it.
