Speaking in an interview with Joy News, Mr Abubakar, who was able to mobilise the youth in the area to help break into the house of the Nigerians, narrated his encounter: “I was very anxious when I first heard the scream for help from the house, so I decided to knock on the gate to find out what was happening. A macho man came through the gate to question my presence and stabbed my palm in the course of the confrontation with a broken bottle.
“We heard the victim crying out saying ‘this evening they are going to bury me in a septic tank.’
“When we rescued the boy his head was like the head of three of us put together. And his arm had become like those of four people put together.
“They had beaten him so much. What the Nigerians have done today is too much?” the Samaritan narrated.
