A 9-year-old boy named Gift has been rescued by neighbours in Abia State after his stepmother and father left him in chains for weeks.
Activist, Harrison Gwamnishu who shared a video of the boy in chains, says the victim lost his mother at birth and has been living with his father and stepmother who subject him to inhuman treatment.
According to reports, the father and the stepmother chained the little boy on Sunday July 4th and went out for a function. It was the neighbors that raised alarm, called a welder and rescued the boy.
Harrison says the boy has been handed over to the state Ministry of Women Affairs.
