Why Is This Not Surprising?

From the Daily Mail, "300 men and boys are freed from 'house of torture' Islamic boarding school where they were chained up, raped by staff and starved 'in the name of teaching them the Koran' in Nigeria." The article reports that "Police spokesman Yakubu Sabo said: 'We found around 100 students including children as young as nine, in chains stuffed in a small room all in the name of reforming them and making them responsible persons.'" But "[t]he owner of the school said all they do is teach people Islam and said the allegations of torture and sexual assault are false, despite acknowledging people were in chains," and contend that the chains were only used on the students who had tried to run away.
