A major riot has broken out in Leeds in the United Kingdom. Double-decker bus has been burnt and police car and fire trucks have been destroyed in the disturbance. Gangs of people are roaming the streets of Leeds and destroying property.

The chaos was sparked by the removal of 4 children by Social Services. One of the children was injured a few days ago and had to be taken to the hospital. The hospital informed Social Services about the injury and a few days later Social Services came and removed the children from the family. This led to a disturbance that has now escalated into a massive riot.

Major British media outlets are locking their comments sections because the family involved is a Roma (Gypsy) family and some people have turned the crisis into a race issue.

Origin of the crisis

The main video in this tweet shows the moment the crisis started. Apparently Social Services tried to take the children from the home, but they were resisted, so they called the police. The video shows policemen dragging children from the home (the children were resisting the police) as a large crowd gathered outside. Some in the crowd began to challenge the police.


A Roma man in one of the quoted videos explained what happened.

He said that the adult was not at home and that one of the children dropped another child on the ground. He said that the child that was dropped did not cry and the parent did not know that anything had happened when they returned home.

The next day the side of the child's head was swollen, so the parent took the child to the hospital. The man telling the story was asking if they think that the parent would have taken the child to the hospital if he actually did anything wrong.

The riots broke out in the Romani community. The Roma used to be called Gypsies, but they hate and reject that name.

They are believed to have migrated from India thousands of years ago. They are known to be itinerant entertainers. In the past they moved from place to place in horse drawn wagons and made money by entertaining people (singing, dancing, organising plays and fortune telling) wherever they went.

The Roma are mostly Christians, though a few still practice a form of the Hindu religion and a few are Muslims.

They have suffered massive discrimination because they have no country of their own. They are mostly found in Europe and the Americas.

In saner climes?

UK has been allowing too many foreigners to enter and stay in the UK, including Islamic terrorists in recent times.

The sun-baked soil of Africa was a distant memory for the young girl, Bidemi, as she stepped off the bus and onto the unfamiliar pavement of her new home. Her father, Deolu, had worked tirelessly to bring their family to this new land, seeking a brighter future for his daughter. With a mix of excitement and trepidation, Bidemi clutched her father's hand as they made their way to their new apartment.

As they settled into their new life, Deola’s dedication to Bidemi’s education only grew stronger. He labored long hours to ensure she had the best possible chance at success, and his hard work paid off as he soon could afford to get Bidemi accepted into a local elementary school.

At first, Bidemi struggled to adjust to the unfamiliar customs and expectations of her new school. In Ibadan, children were taught to respect their elders with silence and obedience. But here, her classmates seemed to have an unspoken freedom to express themselves, even to the point of telling adults to "shut up." Bidemi watched in awe as her peers confidently asserted themselves, and she began to wonder why she couldn't do the same.

As the days turned into weeks, Bidemi’s newfound confidence grew. She started to speak up in class, sharing her thoughts and ideas with her teacher and classmates. But with this newfound freedom came a reckoning. One evening, as they sat down to dinner, Bidemi complained about the meal, saying she was tired of eggs and wanted chicken instead. Then, she was tired of yoghurt and wanted Sobo. Deolu, taken aback by her assertiveness, scolded her for her attitude. But Bidemi, fueled by her newfound sense of self, shot back, "Shut up, Daddy!"

The slap that followed sent shockwaves through their small apartment. Bidemi’s eyes welled up with tears as she retreated to her room, her heart heavy with regret. But the damage was done. The teacher noticed Bidemi’s unusual silence the next day and, after hearing the story, immediately contacted child services.

The days that followed were a blur for Ogbeni Deolu. He lost his joy, his mind and his ability to work as he struggled to come to terms with the consequences of his actions. The courts deemed him unfit to care for Bidemi, and she was taken into protective custody. Deolu’s world crumbled around him as he realized he might never be with his beloved daughter again.

Two long years passed, and Deolu’s once-strong spirit was broken. He perished, a shadow of the man he once was, his heart forever scarred by the loss of his daughter and the life they once shared.

In the two years that passed, the Child services contacted Deolu, informing him that Bidemi was doing well in her new foster home and that he could have supervised visits with her. Initially overjoyed, Deolu eagerly agreed, hoping to rebuild their relationship.

However, when Deolu was finally reunited with Bidemi, he was met with a stranger. The vibrant, curious girl he once knew was now a confident, self-assured young woman who seemed to have moved on from his love. Bidemi was polite but distant, and Deolu’s heart sank as he realized she had formed strong bonds with her new family.

As the visits continued, Deolu struggled to connect with the daughter he once knew so intimately. Bidemi’s new family had become her rock, and she seemed to prefer their company to his. The pain of this realization was almost too much for Deolu to bear.

Helping Abidemi recover, her new foster family
provided her with mental health support and she began therapy. Her therapist helped her uncover the deep-seated effects of the beatings she received as a child in Ibadan, and that it had profoundly impacted her mental health and might affect her own disposition and tolerance for abusive relationships.

As Bidemi worked through her trauma, she began to recognize the abusive patterns in her relationship with her father, Deolu. It was just the slap, but the more her foster family made her watch Nigerian movies on YouTube and saw the way parents corporally punished their children in Africa, the more she adopted the children’s pain and hated her father.

With the newfound understanding, Abidemi spoke out about the abusive relationship she had with her father, sharing her story with everyone around her. While this was a liberating experience for Bidemi, it further drove Deolu to madness. He never used a cane on Abidemi in Ibadan.

No one would have Deolu and so he descended further into a dark abyss of denial and anger. He gave a statement calling his Abidemi a liar. It seemed to him, that the dearth of his daughter’s love was not enough, now, Abidemi would also take the love he could gain from elsewhere, for standing with him seemed like standing against Abidemi. This was the source of the rejection of his community and why he sought to publicly rebuke her.

It was just a slap, but Abidemi spoke at length about the abusive relationship. It was an excuse for her inadequacies, and a source of livelihood for her and her foster family. As she spoke, Deolu’s reputation got further tarnished, and he was shunned and his descent into madness was sealed. It was his village people, he wrongly said.


As Bidemi shared her experience with the world, the foster family who had taken her in were the center of attention. They were hailed as heroes for providing a safe haven for Bidemi and for supporting her in speaking out against her father's abuse. They reaped rewards, received donations and funding for their "noble" work, and their nonprofit organization grew exponentially.

Bidemi’s mental health fraying under the pressure of constantly reliving her trauma, didn’t matter. the foster family's priorities was clear. They were more invested in keeping the spotlight on themselves and the cause than in ensuring Bidemi’s well-being.

Her mental health was an insignificant cost and they told her, the suffering she experienced was a necessary sacrifice for the greater good – to raise awareness and bring an end to abuse.

Bidemi condition worsened, and when the madness that took her father had consumed her too. She yearned for Deolu, her father, but no one heard her.

In the absence of no shoulder to lean on, Bidemi became reliant on substances to cope. It could dull her pain, ease her regret.

In the obituary, published after her suicide, the foster family made sure to mention she was a fighter who eventually succumbed to her father’s abuse.

Yankee!

Even their riot sef dey orderly.

The policemen containing the demonstration are unarmed.

The whole thing is looking like a movie set.

In my home country, trigger happy special forces of the Nigerian Army, Airforce, Navy, Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Civil defence, Immigration, Customs, etc would have been on ground with assault rifles to shoot live rounds.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

This child service thing go soon cause more wahala.

You correct your child as a parent, they come and take the child away. As in, na una born am? Just small shout for pikin, they are taken.

Hmmm

TriCee:
This child service thing go soon cause more wahala

Can you please shed more light? I no understand wetin dey sup

After this riot check you’ll see none was killed by their politicians but replicate this in this zoo and watch how gun and bullets will be rolling..

Leeds one of the most peaceful cities in UK..... Hmmm.

The world we are in, one dies another is born.

Sane society people left the group chat

Yafirr:
I tot riot don't happen in a sane clime

You are not smart.

Ever heard of the riot act? Do you know its history?

Yes UK is saner clime compared to Nigeria.

The social service system is a strict one. A pregnant Nigerian lady’s two children were taken away from her and the social service still waited for her to birth her baby and still took the infant.. Thanks for her good lawyer she fought the case for over a year and got her children back.. I expect the family to at least seek a legal means instead of a riot now their chance of getting the kids back is zero

Children must be protected at all cost .

Why are many people joining the roit over an affair concerning one family. A family they probably do not know?

Yafirr:
I tot riot don't happen in a sane clime

insane people brought it up

Naija wey many no get liver,dey form nonsense.
Try take light for 3 days here in UK for 3 days without any explanation,u come dey tell the people nonsense..
They go turn everywhere upside down,you don't joke with these people's right ooo.

Clam down violence is not the answer

Social media has taught us a very big lesson, opening our eyes to know much more happening around the world,
I think by now, we all have known that the saner climes we grew up to hear about is not that saner as we all think of it.

Capitol
Black live matter
France riot
Now this.

Oops UK

They’ll be alright..

This is silly. They took your children because you were not taking good care of them. The next thing is to call your kindred and start fighting the state. Lets see how this roma gypsy will get justice by going that route.

To those of you saying trash about sane societies..you should know that as long as humans make up the society, there will always be disturbances. The difference is how often these happens and what the response is from the Government to correct it while punishing those responsible without fear or favour.

Summer is riot season in the Western Hemisphere's ghettos. Temperatures are up and tempers run hot. It only takes the smallest of insignificant real or imaginary incidents that go viral online to trigger swarms of ghetto coons to embark on mass looting of shops, arson, and overturning of cars in the street.

Typically, a riot in one city starts a chain reaction of copycat riots in other cities after jobless youths see their colleagues in nearby ghettos stealing property while the police are in disarray dealing with a riot. Next thing you know more riots spread like wildfire in the summer heat. The common denominator in ALL those riots is that they are used as a cover by jobless drug-dealing hoodlums for the theft of property under the guise of participating in a "solidarity riot" whose cause most rioters may not even care to know.
