The abducted Principal of Community High School, Esiele, Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, Mrs. Rachael Folawe Alamu, has appeared in a viral video from captivity, rejecting reports that her abductors are demanding a N1 billion ransom, weapons or the imposition of Sharia law in Nigeria.
In the video circulated on Monday, the principal said she decided to speak out following what she described as false claims about the kidnappers’ demands, 24 days after her abduction.
She said she and other captives were shown media reports alleging that the abductors were demanding money and the introduction of Sharia law in the country, which she insisted were untrue.
