My experience with bandits/kidnappers.

My experience with bandits/kidnappers. This is for educational purposes and not geard towards promoting terrorism nor sympathy for it. On September 5th, 2020, just days after a family bereavement, a journey from Kaduna to Abuja turned into a harrowing kidnapping ordeal. What began as a routine road trip quickly escalated into an armed abduction involving multiple victims, days of captivity in the forest, negotiations for ransom, and intense psychological and physical hardship. In this personal testimony, i recount the events of that day, the realities of being held in the bush for several days, the dynamics with the abductors, moments of fear, resilience, and unexpected humanity, and ultimately the journey back home. This story is a reflection on survival, loss, trauma, and the deeper issues of insecurity affecting parts of northern Nigeria. #SurvivorStoryNigeria
