The Taraba State Government has expressed strong condemnation over the degrading and inhuman treatment meted out to a young boy, Musa Alhassan, by his teacher, Ahmadu Hassan, in the Saurara area of Jalingo.
The Commissioner for Women Affairs and Child Development, Hon. Mary Sinjen in a statement made available to newsmen on Friday, October 4, described the violent act as a gross violation of human rights that will not be tolerated.
According to a statement from the Ministry, Musa Alhassan is currently receiving medical attention in Jalingo, with the state government ensuring his well-being.
“His recovery is a priority for us, and we are closely monitoring his progress,” the statement read.
Ahmadu Hassan, the teacher responsible for the act, has been arrested and handed over to law enforcement.
