Kaduna State Government Allegedly Abandons Toddler Whose Eyes Were Plucked Out by Ritualists

Remember the toddler Abubakar Usman whose eyes were plucked by ritualists months ago? The Kaduna State Government has been accused of abandoning him after reportedly pledging to care for and see him through school.

Governor of Kaduna state Mallam Nasir El-rufai

Recall that the governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El Rufai, has stepped in to help the toddler and donated N150,000 to his family. Also, reports surfaced that he pledged to see him through school.

However, journalist Femi Owolabi is reporting that the toddler has been abandoned, with no plans made to send the 4-year-old to school.

Read his report:
“I didn’t want to share this before, but I just have to, so that we are all aware. 
Months ago, Abubakar Usman lost his two eyes to suspected ritualists in Zaria, Kaduna State. The wicked humans used knife and other sharp objects to cut off the innocent four years old boy’s eyes. 
Since my recent journalistic focus is on reconstruction and resettlement of the internally displaced persons in the North-East, I didn’t really pay a keen attention to Abu’s case. Especially when I heard that the Kaduna State government, under the leadership of my friend, Nasir el-Rufai, had risen to the boy’s case– pledging to see to his welfare and education. 
A very good friend, recently, raised Abu’s issue with me and insisted I go check on him. My friend is interested in Abu’s education. “I wanna ensure this boy go to school so he becomes somebody in life,” my friend said. 
For weeks, I was calling the Kaduna State Police PRO so I will be able to track Abu in Zaria. The officer wouldn’t pick my calls, neither did he return them. As a journalist, I then used other techniques to locating Abu and his family in Zaria. 
I spent some moments with Abu and his family today in Zaria. 
In the coming week, I should publish a comprehensive report on Abu. 
What saddens me? The Kaduna State government hasn’t redeemed its pledge; of taking care of Abu and seeing him through school! Abu has been abandoned! “We were only given N180, 000, and nothing else since then,” Usman, Abu’s father told me. 
The good news? Help is on the way for Abu! I won’t leave Zaria until we enrol him in a school I found for him today!”

Slavery: See How White Slave Traders Dehumanised Naked Black Slave Women

Image
Sexual assault of black female folks was paramount during the slave trade era as perpetrated by white people who degraded their Africans to assets rather than human beings.  Sexual assaults of female black slaves by white male plantation owners, their sons, brothers and other male acquaintances were heartlessly perpetrated unhindered in the 15th and 19th centuries before its abolition. Black women were technically degraded to objects for hard work and pleasure with no real value attached to their feelings. History recorded that black women were raped and dehumanized without fear of punishment. The reasons of their white owners couldn't be justified as they smelt of share hatred and xenophobia for their skin colour. Black men were also sexually abused by slaveholders, and sometimes, their wives were not spared from the ill-treatment as they worked tirelessly on farmlands with stipends that amounted to virtually nothing. The slave trade refers to the transatlantic tradi
