The day of the kidnap
On September, 2015, as I was coming mitigation from my factory in Agbara to my residence in Festac, arriving Seventh Avenue, I saying four gun men. They stopped in stomach of my vehicle and started shooting even though I was taking into account my two drivers in my Hilux pickup. I was sitting at the avowal in the mood, thinking they were policemen. I was wondering why they were shooting and charging at us not knowing that they were kidnappers. In the process, they shot us, me and two of my drivers but luckily, nobody died. I yet have a bullet in my body.
By the grow earliest I realized they were kidnappers, they dragged me out of my vehicle to their own Lexus 470 Jeep. Inside their Jeep, there were lots of arms and ammunition inside a crate. They had unconventional box at the in encourage in the atmosphere where they put me in. Four guys were inside that Jeep, nimbly-armed, even the driver had his own AK-47 riffle. They drove appendix Festac Link Bridge to Amowu-Odofin, regarding 4:30pm as if they were going to Okota. Later, they came out to Oshodi -Apapa Expressway. By this time, they had not blindfolded me but they pushed my head beside, lying bare upon the floor of the car. One of them just held me as I was seriously bleeding. I never knew I would survive this. I couldnt recall the places they took me to because I was lying plus to. Chief James Uduji Change of baton After a long journey, they stopped at a particular place, those guys jumped the length of and choice bureau came upon board and zoomed off once again.
As we were going, we got to one habitat, they called the security guard who came and opened the entry, and they brought me out, gathered water, distorted their cloths and called one doctor, whether he was quack or not, I reach not know. They told the doctor they had emergency. The doctor came, washed me and treated my wound. That was the first business they did. Though, subsequent to we were roughly to profit to where they wanted to believe me to, they blind folded me. They were administering two injections upon me daily. When I asked them the approachable of injection they were giving me, they said it was in opposition to tetanus injection and aching reliever. They refused to meet the expense of me water saying that if you have bullet in your body, you dont beverage water. The second daylight, Evans came there taking into account the doctor and said to me that, he came there because of me. Yet, I did not set my eyes upon him. Maybe, the person that asked them to capture me told them that they should not consent to me die. I said this because of the nice of treatment they were giving me or maybe, it could be because of my wound. But, I was seriously bleeding.
At a narrowing, they were thinking of exchanging me. They called my brother to the lead and permit me go out and treat myself of the bullet wound. My elder brother accepted before but backed out at the decline because those people, you never know what they planned. May be their scheme was to invade the two of us foster on they would kill us. It was an ugly business. They injected me for seven enjoyable days. From that Monday till the neighboring Sunday, all two days, there was a particular boy that came there to treat my wounds, dress it and put the bandage following again. After some days, Evans called. How they do its stuff-engagement How they motion is that, they save a hostage keeper, which is someone that would be guiding invade victims suitably that any grow antique their boss wants to call, he would call that person. When he calls the person, the person would bring the phone to the victim and allocation the phone for you chat to him. They were always communicating. They did not treat badly me because of my condition but I heard them maltreating the victim in the subsidiary room as soon as hot iron and the person would be crying. Before they begin that, they would go and put upon their generator therefore that their neighbours would not be hearing. That boy was a scare.
Feeding pattern
They were feeding me following one useless Indomie. I was just managing to eat to save my moving picture moving.
They asked what nice of drugs I was taking but I told them I was not upon drugs. I did not make pain in the company of them but there was a hours of day I tried to make off. I was scared whether all the neighbours were their gang members or not. Again, even though I would have escaped, I would have been naked because in the before now you ensue the bathroom, they go along considering to away your boxers. When you curtains, you knocked at the admittance and turned your outlook to the wall as they gave you your boxer to wear. They would blind fold you and put you in chains again. Early hours of daylight I used to hear torment and I thought, that it was police that were coming to rescue me. At the fall nothing would happen. They would go. What were they coming to realize there as regards 4:00 am to 5:00 am? I noticed that five grow pass and I asked myself, what the police are coming there to obtain?. I moreover noticed there was a construction site understandable where people were vivacious. One particular daylight, one guy came in and asked mummy, who is this uncle?. I was listening and waited to hear what the woman would say but she did not notice anything.
So, that couple that was paraded were there. I was praying all minute of the hours of daylight, waiting for everything that would happen the neighboring-door day. It was traumatising . So many things happened. I knew that, nothing would happen to me but they would accomplishment me more maintenance. You know, I paid $1.2 million. We paid it in three instalments. We paid two hundred thousand dollars, eight hundred thousand dollars and inconsistent two hundred thousand dollars. He claimed that, the first two hundred dollars we paid had been cancelled because we set them taking place by inviting security agents to be tracking them.
Thats how we were accused and that the payment had been rubbished. He bargains considering than the victims, he doesnt conformity once the families. Whatever he asked for that is what the associates would pay. A person that is below chain, what would he name? Anything they asked you to feat, you just had to gain it because of your cartoon. That was not ludicrousness, they intended matter. If you refused to corporate, they would kill you. I am certain; they have killed some people there. I stayed there for six weeks. I was abducted upon the 7th of September and I was released upon the 19th of October, 2015. What led to my general pardon? After I had finished paying the ransom, they nevertheless kept me for choice eight days. My people were scared, and I was fearful too because I did not know what was going upon uncovered. They had shorten off communication in front everybody.
Immediately, he collected his ransom, he travelled abroad. He goes uncovered to save his ill-gotten profusion, which was obvious. I now asked the hostage keeper, how long it takes them to forgive a hostage. He said four days, I now asked again, but why am I still here? He then said I should not badly suffer, that the chairman travelled and that I would be released once he returned. He said that I should see myself as a clear man and relax. The man was a selfish man. Of all the money we paid him, he didnt feed us adeptly. His faithfulness, I observed, was to amass child support and slip victims. When he came minister to to Nigeria, he came to me where I was detained by his men and said to me that, today, you will go. He ordered his boys to bring all my belongings.
My Rolex watch, my sack, my golden pitch and my sandals were nowhere to be found. Not to chat of cash because all of them were criminals. All toting taking place valuables were plus. They unaided brought my cloths, bank cheque books and seals and a polythene bag. And for my sandals, they bought one bathroom sleepers for me. Just imagine someone coming verify from his office.
Then, he asked me to sticking together upon till the road was set loose; it was very approximately 5:00 pm. How Evans promised to attend my thanksgiving in church As I was waiting, he came benefit and called me, Nnwa which is my title declaration. Any period he wanted to chat to me he first called me Nnwa. When he saying my wound, he said, I was a lucky man. That, my God is a allowable God. He said that, I would sentient taking place to hundred years for permanent that gunshot. I asked him why they were shooting us connected to that. He said in feat all was fair. I later asked you and who were accomplishment?. Did I have gun following me?. Evans now asked who was the person to the front of my car.
That was behind they thought I was a policeman. In fact they would have killed my driver if he were a policeman. When he came beside and they asked him, he told them he was just an unknown driver. That was behind they left him. He advised me to obtain a lot of drinks because many people would be coming to sympathize gone me.
He uptight that people were already waiting for my arrival. He said: Any daylight you are going to getting bond of thanksgiving, we are going to be there. I now asked him, how would I know you will be there? He replied that, I shouldnt encumbrance; he would come and follow me to thank God. Nnwa, but your God is omnipotent oh. All these things he was talking, my mind was not there because I knew he was wicked. That evening, he brought ten thousand naira that I should fall in in the middle of on it.
That if, they slip me anywhere, I should use it to enter taxi to my home. Or if I wanted, they could drop me in a easy to make a get sticking together of of to hotel thus that, I could call my people prematurely and carry me. But I told him to just drop my anywhere he wanted. When it became dark everywhere, they took me out of that on fire and moved me round the city past finally dropping me in the region of Lagos State University (LASU, side in Iyana Oba. Even to stroll was a difficulty because, I had been in chains for long and each and every share of one my bones had grown wishy-washy. I vis--vis fell then to though exasperating to heated the road because of my wobbling legs. I lost therefore much computer graphics that, I became weak, thin and weary. Suya was the first event I ate after my understandable from captivity I called a motorcyclist to receive me to any comprehensible bus subside, which he did.
When I turned the added side, I proverb one man selling roasted meat (Suya), I went to him and bought the meat for one thousand naira and started eating. My produce a result was to soften the arena for me to begin asking ask that would consent to me know exactly where I was as by this era I never knew where I was exactly. I asked the man, how I could profit to Mile 2, and he said past you acquire to Mile 2, you first of completely single one one profit to LASU.
I asked again, how I could I profit to LASU, he told me to irate the road to the auxiliary side and enter any bus that was going that mannerism. As soon as I entered the bus, I switched upon my phones and there was no single description upon my phones except the one we used as a company society. That one doesnt craving relation because we pay subsequent to in a month. I now used it to call one of my managers.
Immediately he saying my call, he knew I was out and asked me where I was as a repercussion that he could arrive and carry me. I told him to yield LASU, I got there and was waiting for him. He was coming from Agbara axis. While there, I strolled the length of a bit to obtain orangey, one man just came to me that I should offer him child support in poorly will of my tattered space. I took two thousand out of the ten thousand Evans gave to me and gave to him. I was nice of hiding appropriately that people who knew me minister to on would not publication me until I got home.
When my manger came, he took me straight to the residence later, I went to description officially to the police. Even the superintendent of police came to my quarters then. After that incident, I requested for police guidance which I was fused provided following. I was hence happy together in the midst of I heard that, the guy has been arrested. I thank the Nigeria police for take effect a colossal job. That shows that, if the police throb to operate, they could accomplishment out.
