If you forgive, they beat you. If you try to learn, they beat you”, said Isa Ibrahim, 29, who was being held in this place.
About 500 boys and men were rescued from this building in Kaduna. The building was used as an Islamic school and a corrective organ.
However, Nigeria's police said that it was a place of slavery because many people were kept in chains.
