“I thought they were unknown gunmen , and before I knew what was happening, they started shooting and they dragged me out of the car and put me in their own car and sped off.
“Inside the car, they blindfolded me and took me to an unknown destination at first. Later, they took me to a bush where we spent four days. On the 4th day, they came to tell me that my people have paid the ransom and I would be released today.
“When I was freed I started crying, that was when I knew I had been saved . The trauma is still here. I am always scared even when driving from 2021 till now . Sometimes I refuse filming in a place I don’t really know because of the fear.”If You’re Reading From Phoenix Click On Read Original at the top To Read Full Article
