A man at Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State has been reported by a witness after torturing his two children for their ‘mother’s sins.’
The unidentified father kept his children in chains, broke one of the children’s fingers with hammer, and poured salt in their bleeding wounds.
According to a video posted by the National Human Right Commission (NHRC) on its Twitter handle, the man has now been arrested.
In the video, the man is seen pouring pepper and salt on their wounds as they sat crying outside a shop.
