NSCDC arrests two Islamic clerics for torturing Quranic pupils with hot cutlass in Ondo

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested two Islamic clerics in Owo, Ondo State for allegedly brutalising two minors under their care.

NSCDC public relations officer (PRO) in Ondo, Daniel Aidamenbor, who disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, February 5, 2026 said the suspects, Adebodun Muideen, 30, of Al-Balaagul-Mubeen Arabic and Islamic Centre, and Oladejo Musiliu, 35, of Abdullah Arabic and Islamic Centre, were apprehended after a report by the child-rights group, Kids and Teens Resource Centre.

Aidamenbor said the incident was reported on Wednesday when a class teacher noticed multiple injuries on the boys and alerted the advocacy group.

He said preliminary investigations showed that the children, whose parents reside in Osun, had been sent to Owo for Qur'anic studies alongside conventional schooling.

He said trouble began when one of the minors returned home with a Vivo Android phone and could not explain how he got it.

The NSCDC spokesperson said the second boy was implicated during questioning, causing the clerics to allegedly use a heated cutlass on the boys’ backs and buttocks, causing deep wounds.

“The act is a total violation of the Child Rights Act and the Ondo State Child Protection Law,” the statement reads.

“The suspects had confessed and would be charged to court for assault and child abuse.”

The corps spokesperson warned religious institutions, parents, and guardians against unlawful punishment of children, noting that “acts of violence against children, no matter the justification, constitute criminal offences punishable under Nigerian law.”

He commended the swift action of the executive director of the Kids and Teens Resource Centre and urged the public to report suspected abuse to security agencies.

NAFDAC says ban on sachet alcohol is to protect children

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says its enforcement of the ban on alcoholic beverages in sachets and small plastic or glass bottles is aimed at protecting children and young people and not punishing manufacturers. In a statement on Thursday, January 29, NAFDAC director-general, Mojisola Adeyeye, said the policy was driven by public health concerns and growing evidence that alcohol packaged in sachets and containers below 200 milliliters has increased underage drinking across the country. The agency recently began enforcement of the ban following a directive by the senate, with the backing of the ministry of health and social welfare. According to Adeyeye, the small and cheap packaging of high-alcohol-content drinks makes them “easily accessible, affordable and concealable”, leading to widespread misuse among minors and some commercial drivers. “This ban is not punitive; it is protective. It is ai...
