Mamuda Abubakar has been taken into custody by the Bauchi State Police Command for reportedly shackling his 6-year-old son inside a room at their Giade Local Government Area residence.

On Monday, July 8, the incident was verified by SP Ahmed Mohammed, the police spokeswoman. He claims that on Sunday, a report regarding the maltreatment of the youngster was turned in to the police. The youngster was saved by detectives who arrived on the scene promptly.
