The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has rescued a woman chained and starved by her husband for one year.
The agency also shared the lady's photograph.
The incident happened in Yobe.
NSCDC also arrested the 65-year-old man, Mohammed Baburam, accusing him of starving his 40-year-old wife for one year in Potiskum.
The chained woman’s photos went viral on social media after concerned residents called for help for her.
Several human rights organizations soon got involved and the mother-of-four was immediately rescued.
Her husband was arrested on Wednesday, Oct. 4.
The husband, who fed his wife only once a day, said following his arrest, that he chained her because she has mental health issues.
