These days in Kano and some northern states of Nigeria there has been a surge in these criminal acts where parents locked up their children for a number of years without considering the consequences.

Last week in the Mariri area of Kano metropolis a 30-year-old Man was rescued after his father locked him for seven years.

Another ten-year-old boy was also rescued in Kebbi state when his stepmother acting in connivance with his stepmother tied the boy to where animals are being reared.

He was tied to one of the places where animals eat and drink.

Non -governmental organizations and human rights activists have since condemned the dastardly acts been perpetrated by some parents in the Northern part of Nigeria.
