A rescued victim of the February 3 terrorist attack on Woro and Nuku communities in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, Amirah Salihu, has recounted the harsh conditions she and other captives endured during their nearly six months in captivity.
Salihu, who is a nurse and the daughter of Umar Salihu, the chief of Woro community, said she took delivery of 10 pregnant women with her bare hands while in captivity.
She disclosed this in an interview aired by Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday.
According to her, the captives were poorly fed and often slept in the open, including near a river, despite heavy rainfall.
“The kind of food that they were giving us was bad. The day that we got there, they just dropped guinea corn for us with salt and Maggi. Every day after, they gave us one bag of corn without oil, pepper, nothing. There was a day that they didn’t even give us Maggi again, just salt,” she said.
