She said the victims were subjected to repeated intimidation by their abductors, who claimed that the government had abandoned them and no longer cared about their fate.
The principal of Community High School, Ahoro-Esiele, Oyo State, Mrs. Alamu Folawe, has revealed that kidnappers murdered two captives in a calculated attempt to pressure the government into meeting their demands during the victims’ 56-day captivity.
Speaking on Monday during the official handover of the rescued teachers and pupils to Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, by the Nigerian Army, Folawe described the ordeal as one of fear, psychological torture and constant uncertainty.
She said the victims were subjected to repeated intimidation by their abductors, who claimed that the government had abandoned them and no longer cared about their fate.
“We’re grateful to God. On May 15, a Friday that started well ended in chaos for us, and for 56 days we were in the bush. It was a harrowing experience, but we thank God for seeing us through. We went through a lot,” she said.
