Dr. Balaraba Isah, a female medical doctor, has shared how she was locked up in a small cell with over 30 male detainees who were told to beat her at a police station in Gwarinmpa, Abuja
In an interview with Brekete Family, a human rights program, Balaraba said that the space was very tight, but the detainees made room for her. She said despite being the only woman, they treated her like a sister and did not harm her. She said that even when the police instructed the detainees to beat her, they refused.
Balaraba stated that she remained strong in her faith while inside the cell and she prayed with both the Muslim and Christian detainees.
In Balaraba’s words: “There were more than 30 people in the cell. It is a very small place. Those boys had to give me a space. They treated me like their sister even when police were telling them to beat me”.
