“I was sleeping when they broke down the door and entered my house. They were many. I didn’t count them, but I know they were many. They carried me from the house and put me in a boat. They took me to a strange place. I was sick at the time. I had high blood pressure.

“They took care of me. They bought some drugs for me. They cooked food and gave me some to eat. They didn’t beat me. There were some days when there was no food to eat. We drank garri on such days.

“Sometimes, they prepared eba and soup and we ate. But one day, they told me we had stayed too long and they were tired of our problem. They carried us in a boat and dropped us in a village. I don’t know the name of the village. They carried us to their chairman’s place. I don’t even know the man, but they called him Seiyefa,” she said.

While lamenting that she is not well still and wanted to go to the hospital before being kidnapped, Beauty said she was kept in a small house that was roofed with tarpaulin and was given rainwater to drink.

She added that they didn’t allow her to speak with any member of her family on the telephone.

“No, they didn’t. Who will give you a phone to speak with anybody? They didn’t allow me to speak with anyone on the phone,” she added.

According to her, she was carried on a one boat engine to a camp that has no electricity before she was finally dropped in a village and contacted her people to go and pick her up.

No, there was no electricity. They used torchlight. They are young men, old enough to be my grandsons. They brought me back. I had been with them for three months. I kept telling them to let me go. I think they were also tired of keeping us. So one day, around midnight, they put us in a boat and dropped me in a village. I don’t know the name of the village. Someone mentioned it, but I can’t remember now. They asked us to alight from the boat. Then they called my people and told them to pick me there.

Speaking on praying during her travail in the hands of her captors, she said the kidnappers prayed more.

“I prayed very hard, but the kidnappers prayed more than I did. It seemed like they knew about God more than I did. But they served God and juju. We never gathered at anytime to pray together. They tied charms around their bodies and carried guns.”
