Imo State Police Command has arrested a man who was torturing his two children for their ‘mother’s sins’ in Okigwe Local Government Area of the state.
It was gathered that the unidentified father kept his children in chains, broke one of the children’s fingers with hammer and poured salt in their bleeding wounds.
A Concerned woman who witnessed the de-humanising of the children by their biological father reached out to NHRC.
Sharing the video, NHRC wrote:
