‘I Became Their Interpreter’ — Kogi Kidnap Survivor Narrates Ordeal

Ngozi Stephen, one of the victims rescued from a kidnapping incident in Kogi State, has recounted her ordeal, revealing that the abductors demanded ransoms ranging from ₦50 million to ₦100 million from some victims.

Stephen said her knowledge of Hausa made her the group’s interpreter, through which she communicated the kidnappers’ ransom demands to other victims.

She said the abductors confiscated their phones and laptops and threatened to sell victims to ritualists if ransom demands were not met.

According to her, the victims were eventually rescued after security operatives engaged the kidnappers in a gun battle, forcing the abductors to flee and abandon the victims’ belongings.
