“Things we see in Makurdi, Benue state. It’s right to torture a child this way? You take a child from the poor parents to stay with you and receive such punishment?,” he wrote.

“For me this is torture. Like today, its alleged that “she carried the stones from around 6:am to 9:am”.

“The madam is going to learn the hard way. Meanwhile, if you aren’t okay with someone’s child, take the child back to the parents.”
