From Umar Faruk Birnin Kebbi
A disturbing case of child abuse has come to light in Kebbi State, involving a 6-year-old girl named Fatima. Fatima's father, who separated from her mother, initially left her in the care of his brother in Birnin Kebbi. However, after remarriage, he returned Fatima to his brother's household, where she continued to face abuse.
The Kebbi State Hisbah Commission intervened, discovering the horrific situation. Fatima's condition reportedly deteriorated, resembling that of a 3-year-old girl.
Authorities have summoned Fatima's father, his brother, and wife to answer to the allegations. The Commission has temporarily placed Fatima in the care of a trusted woman until October 24, 2024.
