About 300 rice processing workers who were forced to work during the coronavirus lockdown in northern Kano, Nigeria have been rescued by the police.
The men who were camped in the factory since March were allegedly not permitted to leave the mill.
However, the five managers at Popular Farms, the Indian-owned rice processing mill are in police custody.
It was a tip off by one of the incarcerated men to a human rights organisation that the police became aware of the predicament of the men.
Kabara added that his outfit had taken on the mantle to seek justice for the men who were confined for nearly three months and were denied freedom of movement and some basic human needs.
