Abuja Woman Rescued After Being Chained by Brother for 16 Months
In Abuja, a 36-year-old businesswoman endured more than 16 months of captivity and chains at the hands of her own brother in Mpape near Katampe. She was isolated in harsh conditions, cut off from family and help. On June 12, the FCT Police Command responded to a distress call, forced entry, and freed her. She was taken to hospital for urgent medical care, and her brother was arrested. Investigations are ongoing, including inquiries into the whereabouts of her missing child. The case has sparked nationwide outrage and raises pressing questions about family betrayal, protecting vulnerable people, and the role of community vigilance in preventing such tragedies.
