They Threatened to Keep Us for One Month, Kill Us, Rescued Corps Member Recounts Ordeal in Kogi

A rescued National Youth Service Corps member, David Ayodele, has recounted how he and other abductees were allegedly threatened with death by their captors after they were taken into a forest in Kogi State.

Ayodele said the kidnappers threatened to keep the victims in captivity for one month and kill them, while warning them against moving without permission.

He said the victims were forced into the bush after their vehicle was intercepted while travelling from Bayelsa State to Abuja following their relocation from the NYSC orientation camp.

Recounting the incident after the rescue, Ayodele said the driver attempted to escape when the kidnappers emerged, but the group was eventually forced out of the vehicle.
