The Nigeria Police, Shagamu Division of the Ogun State Command, yesterday rescued a 13-year-old teenager, who was chained by his father for stealing his N2,000.

The teenager was found on the bare floor, naked, with his hands and legs bound.

A resident, Modupe Okeshola, told Vanguard that it was not the first time the teenager would be dehumanised by his father.

She said: “This is how this boy has been dehumanised by his father. Even if he stole, is this the right way to discipline a child? He even padlocked the chains so that nobody can rescue him.

“We had to call in the Police because we were afraid that the boy might die.”

The Divisional Police Officer, Shagamu Division, Aduroja Moses, reportedly led a team of policemen to the house, from where the teenager was rescued and taken to the hospital, while his father was arrested.

As at 6p.m. yesterday, the teenager was still being treated in an undisclosed hospital.

Confirming the incident, spokesman for Ogun State Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said: “The Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered that the suspect be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.

“He warned that the Command will not tolerate any act of lawlessness from anybody no matter how highly placed the person is.”

When arrested, the father, Adeoye Oreyomi, 41, accused him of stealing his N2,000 and that he only wanted to teach him a lesson.

Libyan authorities have arrested four Nigerians in Sabha and Bani Walid on charges related to drug trafficking and testing positive for infectious diseases.

The arrests were announced on Monday by Migrant Rescue Watch, an advocacy group, through a post on X (formerly Twitter).

In Sabha, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) conducted a raid at the residence of two Nigerian suspects and seized 1,200 hallucinogenic pills along with other illicit substances. Both suspects were handed over to the Sabha Security Directorate for further investigation.

In a statement, Migrant Rescue Watch confirmed: “CID in Sabha carried out a raid on a reported location and arrested two Nigerian drug traffickers. During a search of the premises, police found 1,200 hallucinogenic pills and other illicit drugs. Both individuals were transferred to the Sabha Security Directorate.”

In a separate incident, two Nigerians, a male and a female, were detained in Bani Walid during a routine health screening after testing positive for infectious diseases.

The Directorate for Combating Illegal Migration (DCIM) in Bani Walid transferred the suspects to Tripoli, Libya’s capital, for further processing and eventual repatriation to Nigeria.

Migrant Rescue Watch’s statement read, “DCIM Bureau in Bani Walid transferred two Nigerian #migrants (female and male) who tested positive for infectious diseases to Tripoli for repatriation.”

Bani Walid, located south of Tripoli, is known as a transit hub for migrants attempting to cross into Europe. Libyan authorities continue to crack down on illegal activities and enforce public health measures within the region.
