A four year old boy named Sadiq Usman had his two eyes plucked out on January 2016 by some ritualists in Buda area of Zaria City in Kaduna State. The innocent boy went to buy some sweets on that fateful day. He saw two men on a bike who were following him and asked if there was a road in front and the poor boy answered in the negative without knowing that the men were evil. They grabbed and took him to a lonely place where he was given injections severally and then gouged out his two eyes. Sadiq, who chose to narrate his ordeal by himself to Sunday Punch, told them what happened in fluent Hausa language and it goes like this,
" One day grandma gave me N10 to go and buy sweets. I went, I saw two men on a motorbike. They were following me and one of them asked me whether there was a road in front and I said no. Later, they promised taking me to where they would get better sweets for me."
" Then they grabbed me and took me away to where I was given injections several times and they removed my eyes." Sadiq has undergone surgeries and was told that he can never see again but would be given artificial eyes when the need arises.
Sadiq has only one prayer point for those that removed his eyes and his prayer point is " Those who plucked my eyes, will have theirs plucked by God," he said in Hausa Language. And his family members who were present chorused "Amin".
