The police in Kaduna in central Nigeria have uncovered a bungalow harbouring no fewer than 300 children, chained on the legs and starving.
Some of the children are between the age of five and ten, TVC News has reported.
The big surprise was that the children are manacled, possibly to ensure that they do not escape.
