*Condemnation of the Degrading and Inhuman Treatment of Musa Alhassan by Local Teacher Ahmadu Hassan*
The Ministry of Women Affairs and Child Development, in collaboration with the Taraba State Government, strongly condemns the degrading and inhuman treatment inflicted upon young Musa Alhassan by his local teacher, Ahmadu Hassan, in the Saurara area of Jalingo. This heinous act of violence against a child is a gross violation of human rights and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Musa Alhassan is currently receiving premium medical attention in Jalingo, and the state government is fully committed to ensuring his well-being during this difficult time. His recovery is a priority for us, and we are closely monitoring his progress.
We also wish to inform the public that Ahmadu Hassan, the perpetrator of this cruel act, has been handed over to law enforcement authorities. He is currently in full custody and will face the full wrath of the law. The government is determined to ensure that justice is served swiftly and thoroughly, leaving no room for impunity.
Under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Dr. Agbu Kefas, the Taraba State Government, in collaboration with the Ministry of Women Affairs and Child Development, security agencies, and other stakeholders, remains resolute in its commitment to protecting the rights of children. We will continue to fight for a future where every child is safe, respected, and empowered to thrive.
We urge all citizens to stand with us in condemning such acts and supporting efforts to create a safer environment for the children of Taraba State.
Signed:
Hon. Mrs. Mary Sinjen (FCNA, ACTI)
Hon. Commissioner, Women Affairs and Child Development, Taraba State
