A corps member serving in a secondary school in Ejigbo, Osun State, Yetunde (surname withheld), has narrated how she escaped from kidnappers’ den after she was abducted alongside four others at Onigaari axis along Lagos-Ibadan expressway.<\/p>\n

According to Tribune, Yetunde left Ejigbo to visit her parents in Lagos on Friday, January 7. The first phase of the journey ended in Ibadan, and she boarded an ash-colour Toyota Sienna vehicle with registration number MUS 493 HH from Iwo Road, Ibadan to Lagos.<\/p>\n

However, the journey which started smoothly was stalled abruptly by a gang of Fulani<\/a> kidnappers which jumped on the road at Onigaari axis along Lagos-Ibadan expressway and started shooting.<\/p>\n

After killing the driver,\u00a0 Oluwatosin Aruwajoye, the kidnappers shot one of the passengers, Ibrahim Tiamiyu, in the thigh and took captive of five others, including the shot man\u2019s wife, Sekinat.<\/p>\n

But interesting and amazing is the story of one of the captives, the 26-year-old corper, who, after walking in the forest for several hours with the armed men, providentially escaped early the following morning while the captors were sleeping!<\/p>\n

Yetunde\u2019s story<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking with Tribune, she recounted the sad incident, from the moment she was kidnapped:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were taken from the car, the kidnappers<\/a> directed us into the bush. After walking a distance, they asked us to sit for hours because the gang leader had not come then. They were initially four with us, but became five when their leader joined us. They had three guns.<\/p>\n

They were Fulanis speaking in their language to themselves but in heavily accented Yoruba to us. Four of them used nose masks, only the leader did not use, so we couldn\u2019t see their faces and we even dared not look at them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he came to where we were, we were on the move again. It was in the evening. We got to some places and rested. The food one of us had in our bag was eaten by the kidnappers but they gave us water from the bag when we asked for it. We would sleep a little bit; after a short period of time, they would wake us up and we would be on the move again.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was like they have places they usually sleep on dry leaves. It seems they made it that way so that if any captive tries to leave, they would wake up from the sound of the dry leaves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe walked throughout the night. They kept threatening us that they would kill us. After we all slept again, including the kidnappers, a call to Muslim prayers woke me up. I know the Northerners getting up to pray so I thought they would get up. They had tied our hands tightly before then. Even till now, my nerves are yet to be active. I don\u2019t feel with my fingers and can\u2019t hold things. My second finger is so stiff that I can\u2019t use it for anything. They are heavy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lady whose husband was shot was one of the captives. She was beside me. She was very weak and I felt her pains. One of us who was going to Redemption Camp before the kidnap was also very weak. They almost broke her hand. It got to a point she was so frustrated that she asked them to kill her. They didn\u2019t, instead, they used the boots they were wearing to injure her on the hands they tied. It seemed the hands were dislocated. Throughout the night, she used her scarf to cover her hands because the cold got so much into them and it was like they were dead. There was also an elderly man who was fat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI woke the camp lady and the one whose husband was shot but they were not strong enough to get up. They couldn\u2019t feel their hands anymore because blood could not circulate. They were tightened so hard. Even when I wanted to urinate, it was the Fulanis who helped me to pull down my trousers as I couldn\u2019t use my hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lady and I were whispering when I woke her up. They had already untied our hands but I believe they knew what they were doing. They tied them for about an hour and poured water on them to render them dead. Blood was no longer flowing in them and we couldn\u2019t feel with them. Even we couldn\u2019t feel ourselves as we touched each other. The nerve cells were dead already.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told her to try and hold a palm tree in front of her but she couldn\u2019t feel with her hands so she couldn\u2019t grasp the tree. She fell down and I couldn\u2019t wait for her anymore. If I tried to pull her, the Fulanis might wake up. That was how I started my journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had noticed that when they were taking us through the forest, they were moving to the right side, so I was making my own moves towards the left side for about an hour. Fortunately, I got to a place with tree stumps shaded with leaves. I slept there for about an hour to regain some strength.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the time I woke up, it was bright morning. I started walking. I was pricked by thorns on my bare feet and hands but I was not feeling them because my limbs were dead. I was using my head to create space to move. I didn\u2019t care for the pains because I needed to survive. I walked for about five hours because it was almost 12 noon, as I learnt later, that I got to a point I could see sun shining. That made me to believe that I was getting near where I would see people.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the time I walked for another one hour again, I heard a machine being used to cut trees. I walked towards the sound, with the belief that people were doing it. By the time I got close to them, the machine had been stopped and they were about going when I shouted. They were saying: \u201cwho is there? Are you not an evil spirit in the forest?\u201d I told them I wasn\u2019t and explained my predicament to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of them made moves to assist me by cutting the trees and grasses in front of him till he got to where I was. That was when he knew I was a living being. He was like \u2018lady, you really tried if you could make it out of this forest alive.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first thing I requested for was a pair of slippers because my legs were aching and the thorns were pricking me on my hands, legs, back. We walked for about an hour before we got to their village in Ogunmakin.<\/p>\n

I had requested for water because I was so thirsty and dehydrated but they said they couldn\u2019t give me because it was dangerous to do so for someone with my experience. They said it could lead to death.<\/p>\n

I saw a river and wanted to fall in and drink water but they prevented me.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we got there, they started removing the thorns with blade. That was when I started feeling pains. Even till now, my hands are still not functioning well. They boiled water for me and a lady bathed me because I couldn\u2019t do it myself. I couldn\u2019t feel any touch. The tree cutter also gave me his shirt and trousers to change from my torn clothes. His trousers were bigger for me but I didn\u2019t have a choice.<\/p>\n

They also fed me with cocoyam and red oil, which they said was traditionally therapeutic and would bring me relief, but I couldn\u2019t eat. I was just drinking water. They really took care of me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told them that I needed to contact my parents. The Fulanis had called them the previous night and requested for N30 million. They used the phone of the woman going to Redemption Camp. She was able to pick her bag when we were kidnapped but couldn\u2019t carry it anymore at a point as we were walking, so they used her phone and the other lady\u2019s SIM card, I guess. When my parents were calling back, there was no network in the forest anymore. \u201cThat was why I pleaded with them at Ogunmakin to allow me call my parents and I called my father. My father sent some money and I was able\u00a0 to leave Ogunmakin for Lagos myself. My father didn\u2019t want to come and pick me so as not to raise my grandmother\u2019s suspicion. I was afraid while going back but I needed to be courageous. When I got home, I went to the clinic and was treated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her story is heart-breaking<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though she has returned to her place of primary assignment in a secondary school in Ejigbo, she said that her hands had not been working perfectly and the reflexes were dead. \u201cI can\u2019t write, I can\u2019t hold anything,\u201d she stated. Yetunde added she had gone to see a physiotherapist to restore her hands to their usefulness.<\/p>\n

So happy with her narrow escape, the youth corps member told Saturday Tribune: \u201cI\u2019m a Muslim but I went to church with my friend and offered thanks to God for sparing my life and making a way of escape from captors for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Narrating how the kidnappers struck, the lady said: \u201cI was in the vehicle, asking the man who was later shot, to lend me his charger because my phone battery was dead. He, his wife and I were coming from Ejigbo in Osun State together. He told me he also needed to charge, so I kept silent. Along the line, he and his wife were discussing. They liked my company and we were gisting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we got to a point, we saw some men jumping on the road with one of them in Army camouflage polo shirt over which he wore a jacket. We first thought he was a policeman in a team who just wanted to check the vehicle. We should have noticed but we were engrossed in our talks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one on the road released a gunshot and the driver was confused. He wanted to make a u-turn but immediately he maneuvered the vehicle to do so, the man shot him in the head. He died immediately, hitting the road median.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey told us to come down. That was when everybody knew it was not a joke.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we were coming down, the man by the door, whose wife sat beside me, was shot in the thigh. There was also boy, about seven years old, with his father in the vehicle. The father\u2019s younger brother was sitting at the front, and they looked alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were being taken into the bush, they held the younger brother of the other man sitting close to me by his trousers and inflicted him with machete cuts. Though I learnt that the young boy\u2019s father was also killed while lying in a ditch, but I saw the young boy running and looking back, crying. He was looking at me as he was running. They went after him but I don\u2019t know what happened to him because three of the kidnappers shepherded five of us into the bush immediately, while the remaining two continued with the operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of us, a man, was walking behind me with our captors leading us. We had not walked far when the man noticed another bushy route and ran to it, not looking back.<\/p>\n

Even when police came, blowing their siren, all of us captors heard but couldn\u2019t make any sound to tell them where we were.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen their leader came to join us, at a point, I was looking back because I was very scared. In my head, I was thinking of an escape route.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut anytime I did, the leader would bark at me in pidgin English: \u2018if you look back, I go shoot you!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the night, when we got to the back of where I later learnt was also Ogunmakin axis, we needed to cross the expressway to the other side. My plan was that if I could see any truck entering, I would run, but it was as if the leader was reading my mind. We were both facing each other and he could read my expression. He had said: \u201cif you think say you go run, I go shoot you for road, you go die.\u201d I looked at him and cautioned myself so that I would not be killed. They also spoke in Yoruba. When were in the forest, they told us: \u2018se ki npa, abi wa sanwo?\u2019 (We will you pay or I kill you?).<\/p>\n

\u201cI later got to know that my bag and phone had been recovered from the vehicle by the police and I went to collect them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
