- BBC Africa Eye’s latest investigation goes undercover in the Somali neighbourhood of Nairobi, Kenya, to expose a form of religious healing gone badly wrong.
Islamic rehab centres offer treatment to people suffering from addiction or mental health problems. But Somali reporter Jamal Osman discovers that, behind the closed doors of one rehab clinic, patients are routinely abused, beaten, and forced to drink a toxic liquid called harmala.

I heard it is closed. Thanks to you BBC🙌🙌
Man i salute this reporter he has done a great job👊👊
well the center was raided today, i hope more centers will be raided to stop torture
A mother paying $400 for her kid to suffer and making him worst than he Was instead of financing for his education and others !!
And Where is the kenyan gouvernement ?
DISGRACEFUL!
As a *neuroscientist* and someone who has studied addiction extensively i can confidently say that violence has no link to a positive change and here is why: think of addiction as a stain in your carpet, if you clean it quick (stop using drugs quick) the stain can be cleaned easily (you dont feel an urge to use anymore) but if you spill more things on the stain (repeatedly use of the drug) the stain will become permanent (you will be under the control of your urges/ addiction). Just like you cannot beat your home to wash the carpet, you cannot beat the men who have addictions to rid them of their issues. Addiction means no choice, no say in what they do; beating them is senseless. Leave rehab to people who know what they are doing inside and out.
Poor Ali , why human beings can be this inhuman somehow 🙄😡
I have been also to this place I was beaten almost broke my fingers. I was beaten for a whole week.I have drunk that harmala its horrible.this place should be closed
Dj Mengo1531 who told you to hang around with gangs and using drugs. you have learned ur lesson i hope
My uncle was in one of these and he came out traumatised and quiet
Unfortunately family members fed up with their kin subject them to this torture. Parents, brothers and sisters are sending their loved ones to these torture dens. Sad, sad, sad.
This NACADA lady is A BIG JOKE!!!!
This is extremely disgusting. I am a Muslim and i believe Quran can be medication but not only from just reciting it but from reading and understanding what it means and it can help spiritually , but beating and torturing people is extremely wrong and inhuman and they act as if it is normal these people who torture them need to be jailed for such acts to know how these patients feel and they were entrusted but clearly what they do is horrible . It not only happens here it must happen all over the world we need to speak out about this.
All in the name of religion and money... This is sad.
This is so wrong, someone needs to shut this prison and rescue this poor people 😢
Thank you so much for exposing this....can't believe this happens in my country! Heartbreaking!
Thanks a lot for exposing this inhuman and useless people thanks to you I believe they will be free and get help
Is the Brit guy Ok?He needs to go to the embassy and hopefully they'll get him the help he needs to return to the UK
This truly breaks my ❤
This is just too sad. Great job exposing this!
This was a very well done investigation...I can only hope things get better
Why would somebody subject their family member s to this kind of torture?
Poleni sana...Our Somali brothers in Eastleigh are indeed suffering.
And to think this is where my mum is condersing to bring her brother (my uncle) to because of his mental issues, NAAAH!
How do they give their patients poisonous cocktails with no medical background is beyond me. These herbal medicines that aren't understood properly & sold by uneducated businessmen is another baffling horror, i won't even speak on the beatings, SMH! Rehabilitation MY LEFT TOENAIL!
Kanyari wako kwa dini zote I say
This is torture!
24:10 really did that woman say that the judiciary has more priorities .... really 😒😒😒 ur whole joke is to prioritize rehabilitation facilities ...Am a Kenyan and this government does nothing for its ppl
This is heartbreaking 💔
This so embarrassing to beat and torture someone who needs care
Ben Njega is very brave, BBC and Kenyan Government do something. This is unacceptable.
This is pure hell created by this so called sheikh who get fortune from this ignorant people..i was even told that some of the people die in this places and it still continues..i feel sad for the poor people going through this. We need to help them and create awareness among the people.
I have been to a rehab in Kenya, a good one compared to this (no physical abuse). But it still had people locked against their will in a cell and an arrangement with police to abduct people. There is no justice where there is money and power to be had.. worldwide and especially in Kenya. Such is the system we live in. Money and power are paramount, religion and human rights are an afterthought.
I feel like their families just want to get rid of them. They don’t check on them or even try to see these conditions before sending them here. It’s very sad 😞 like why would you pay for your family to be abused. It’s sad
i want to ask,who will help that kid from London go back home? i cry for my country...i hope that the owners of that centre will be given the worst punishment ever.
WTH is this lady saying! You get leads and somehow treat them as "malicious" Negligence to take lawful action is simply sympathizing with such rehab institutions. The police are also involved. This is a cycle of a corrupt process! This is crap!
It is seriously sad bro.... I have been trying to raise the alarm for many years but no one cared! I wonder why?
This is torture. The center should be shut down
This is so unfair and inhuman.....how can they beat them up as if they are not human beings. Quick action should be taken against these people, its total torture to them........ Something should be done and the government should monitor all activities in the rehab to ensure no torture is practised....... Such a sad story
I bet this goes on in other rehab facilities through out the country. They should all be investigated and shut down
Matiangi matiangi matiangi help those poor souls they are human beings like us. Close that rehab.
What is the media of this country doing? , to the point that BBC had to cover this, this is against human rights.
reading the koran through tubes into his ears. LMFAO
This place needs to be shut down this is abuse and I'm glad it was exposed.So sad even a animal should not be treated this way shame on this place expose them......may they be placed in jail and never see the light of day let families see thiis is what they pay for to have there family members abused this is not treatment smh..
Double7 Trouble I think the family members know what goes on but they don't care as long as they get results
Double7 Trouble
After rehabilitation they became good kids to their parents,good mothers to their children's that's what matters.......
Honestly speaking this sort of treatment is very primitive and uncalled for, there could be a better way to handle such situations. There is even a government sitting down letting such conducts continue to take place, this must come to end we are humans and everyone deserves to be treated with respect.
This is how they feed the minds of the people. Looks more like a prison rather than rehab center.
Shouldn’t be watching this shit around 4 am im outta here man
These criminals should be sentenced to a lengthy prisons - Nobody has the right to hit and beat another human being. Just someone paid them money doesn't mean they can do this to another person.
Omg moha Dc its me here Daud and am from Kenya Nairobi and I confirm this is truth
this people can sue the government and actually get compensation but lack of education keeps them in the dark..... that guy from UK .....just search for a good lawyer and show him this doc.... u will be rich!!!
This is wrong. I cant believe this is happening here in Kenya. It is immoral and wrong. I am appalled at this.
And even these parents should be jailed
I can relate, because I was in those rehabs
This is really very, very sad.
BBC should do one of these at butabika hospital in Uganda... It's the same there too. Jah bless Africa
Thank you for exposing these scumbags BEN! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I want to visit Kenya 🇰🇪
You will enjoy it alot as a tourist
Its amazing here aside from this
Welcome....you'll want to live here, not just visit
Just beware it is an Extremely corrupt country
Excellent job!
Thank you for bringing this to light, Lord have mercy people are gone mad, they are killing people openly , so how can God forgive us ? my beautiful Africa IAm deeply sorry we go down like this when we have Leaders siitting in their comfort zone not checking what's going on under their nose let alone child trafficking, so where are we going just curious , in the name of the creator please don't hurt people .
I am so sorry for this issue because the rehabilitation centres they misunderstand how to treat the holy #Quran.
We need a longer version 🎤🎤
I can’t believe this is happening in my doorstep 💔
sorry but I don't think anything will be done,money will exchange hands and the victims will continue suffering
I'm so angry.
We must stop this.

Chipukizyy need to see this, as a new director of nacada
...may Allah have mercy on them🙇♀️🙏...amin
This is totally illegal, n the government turning a blind eye to it is even much more worse. These kinds of rehab should be shut down completely. They only add to the sufferings of the patients 😭
This dangerous and disgusting. They do more harm to clients than helping them.
If i were in charge of those who were sent to capture this sheikh and closing of the rehabilitation center at Eastleigh i would first of all make order each of them to drink a glass of hamala so that they can feel what they used to force on others!!! Anyway God bless everyone behind this work.
if the govt can do nothing about this, then I'm concerned about the country I live in
Nowonder they recently closed up these rehab centers. But the media did not explain all these gorry details
Oh my ,oh my,this is inhuman...may GOD have mercy
Does anyone know what happened to the wardens and the owner of the camp ? Did they went to jail ?
Am so glad action was taken and the place is shut down..... and these people have been arrested . ....smh so much people suffered in their hands. .......and the nacada lady is a joke. ....hope she gets fired too
Shocking and even more shocking that NACADA and the police are aware yet they won't take stern action on these guys.
#Omg ,what the hell is all this ,#abuse #violence is not healing
I am in shock honestly
The government shoul also shut that one in Langata, which is now open as am talking, owned by one of the former members of these Closed ones,
Hope Njenga has been given security.
America has it's issues. Slavery was the worse era but in my lifetime I wouldn't want to have lived any other place especially as a female.
Seriously...In Kenya? ....matiang'i should wake up...
So sad
All in the name of religion and money, I'm not judging the recitation of the holly Quran, but I'm against the brutality and mentality depressing situation victims are place in, I'm out off word to describe this, totally disappointed at both party,the funder (family) and the institution workers.
I don’t support the concept of the abuse at whatever level but spiritual healing as far as I am concerned can be more effective than the conventional treatment they give in the rehabs. The recovery rate in USA in the rehabs are less than 20 percent and the rest don’t survive. And among these 20 percent most are those who have surrendered to a Higher power so this becomes spiritual healing. A transcendent experience literally saves them from this nightmare and disease. Here in the above rehabs they might have a better success rate if they were more systematic and no abuse in whatever way. I am sorry they had to spoil a good effective way of recovery for the patient by resorting to these ways. I hope they come up with more systemic spiritual rehabs. Whatever religion faith about a Higher power .The conventional rehabs are still not effective enough and talk therapy don’t help so much with addictions. That’s why the spiritual 12 steps have been made a law one has to pass thru to heal.addictions is a death sentence beating them is not the solution but the addiction will kill them and it can be more painful. It’s tragic it veered to this direction.
This is Alshabaab's source of money. It's a shame how the police are involved in this. Freaking hilarious or should I say ludicrous?
what happened to humanity? This is so inhumane and should have no place in modern society. this is no rehab!!!!!!!!
This is sad.
How awful.
i cant imagine this is happening,,,that ain't rehabilitation
Sadism pure sadism
Omg where is the God, where is the good government , where is the right heart person..... And please make sure that you guys secure Ben and his family I’m scare of they will come after him and bad thing could happen to him and the family
i was just in nairobi
Welcome to Kenya.
Please help those people and God willing help u if are Muslim 😰😰
Inshallah I will close that place inshallah soon 👌
The owners need to be brought to justice, They should be jailed.
24:15 the journalist is like WTF are you talking about I like his look 👀😨😨
This is insane
How disgusting. And I thought rehabs in the USA were bad.
Please give Ben protection! We all know what these Somalis might do to him😪
21.55 was really making me angry and i really feel sorry for innocent boys like Ali .It's so true dat it's just businessmen dressed up like religious leaders. Please kenyan government take an action for once
So someone refuses to go to school and they are taken to a rehab?
This is so sad
