Kidnap victim recounts forest ordeal, thanks God for army rescue
Mrs. Alamu, a woman kidnapped and held captive in a forest for several days, has recounted her ordeal and expressed gratitude for her rescue by army officers. She said she feared for her husband's health when captors told him he had stopped communicating, and prayed that she would not return to an empty house or find her grave in the forest. During captivity she endured harsh conditions, worrying that anything could happen to her health. After days in captivity, security forces located her hideout and secured her release, allowing her to reunite with her husband. She described the rescue as miraculous, thanking God for her safety and her return to her family.
Her story highlights the persistent threat of kidnapping in parts of Nigeria and the psychological toll on victims and their families. It underscores the importance of community vigilance, timely security response, and support for survivors dealing with trauma. Readers are reminded to report suspicious movements to authorities and to consider how they can assist victims of abduction through reputable relief organisations or community vigilance groups.
