The victim had subsisted on animal fodder, with no water, and was forced to eat his own faeces in order to survive.

‘Really what happened since yesterday was a touching situation that has deeply touched His Excellency, Senator Atiku Bagudu, so much,’ Wali said.

‘We just heard about the boy who had been chained by his foster father and mother, living a barbaric life.

‘His Excellency, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, will never allow such an angry scenario to recur again in Kebbi State, despite all the encouragement that the State Government has been giving our people in a State like this.’
