Africa Torture ‘rampant’ among Nigeria’s security forces

The picture Is the Tabay torture method. Sometimes they tie the hand and legs together and suspend people over a fire or add a brick to the back. Torture is illegal in Nigeria according to  Anti-Torture act of 2017 but it is still in use by the Nigerian police.

WARNING: This film contains disturbing scenes including images of torture


BBC Africa Eye has uncovered shocking video evidence that torture is being used by several branches of the Nigerian police and armed forces.

Torture is illegal in Nigeria. But images from social media show that a particular form of torture - a technique known as ‘tabay' - is widely used in the interrogation and punishment of detainees, including children.

This investigation looks at the origins of this technique, identifies the worst offenders, and asks why they are not being held to account. It also reveals that in 2014 a senior police officer was involved in the torture of a young man who later died from his injuries

Execution Method That is The Definition Of Cruel And Unusual Death By Gibbet

Execution Method That is The Definition Of Cruel And Unusual Death By Gibbet Gibbeting was the practice of locking criminals in human-shaped cages and hanging them up for display in public areas as a warning to others. The gibbet itself refers to the wooden structure from which the cage was hung.  In some cases, people were already executed prior to being gibbeted. But in other cases, they were still alive and left to die of exposure and starvation. Immobile and ghastly while alive — and reeking once dead — people who were gibbeted were haunting to behold. The Medieval origin of gibbeting is often overlooked due to the popularity of the punishment in 1740s Britain. Nonetheless, many people before then were sentenced to die by being trapped in this torturous contraption. Leaders of Germany’s Anabaptist movement in Münster were gibbeted in 1536, and the steel cages are still on display to this day. The United Kingdom also has gibbets...

Horrible method of execution: China removed hearts of inmates ‘while they were still alive

According to these experts, Chinese authorities murder some prisoners in “reeducation camps” to harvest their organs and sell them for transplant for high prices to local and foreign customers. In 2019, an international tribunal headed by the British barrister Geoffrey Nice published a report on organ transplants in China. It was based on months of discussions, presentation of evidence and analysis of findings, calling these acts crimes against humanity and “one of the worst atrocities committed” in modern times. Ethan Gutmann, a researcher and human rights activist, told Haaretz in late 2020 that some 15 million members of minorities in the Xinjiang province, including Uighur Muslims, underwent medical examinations essential to check matches of organs for transplant.  He said over a million of those tested w...

This is Grigori Perelman, a mathematician who refused to accept a fields medal and the $1,000,000 prize  In 2002, Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman published the first of three groundbreaking papers offering a proof for the famous Poincaré conjecture, one of the toughest unsolved problems in math.  He was awarded the prestigious Fields Medal in 2006 and 1M reward from the Clay Mathematics Institute- he refused to accept both. Grigori Perelman. Winner of the Fields Medal (one of the most honorable awards in mathematics). And winner of a million dollars for solving the "Poincaré Conjecture", one of the seven problems of the millennium. He rejected both awards and currently lives a simple life, isolated from the mathematical community, yet he is one of the greatest minds of this century. Why did Grigori Perelman refuse $1 million? According to Interfax, Perelman refused to accept the Millennium prize in July 2010.  He considered the...
