[28/04, 12:56] What started like a peaceful day on the 26th of April 2021 ended up being a day I will never forget. I arrived Warri town the previous day to start hustling with my brother's car since I am yet to get another job since leaving the Navy. On my way coming back from Warri with three passengers left in the Sienna, my spirit became troubled for no particular reason and I just started feeling depressed. From speeding at 130-140km/hr, I dropped my speed to 60km/hr. Few kilometres to Warri, the bandits just started shooting at the vehicles (I was the lead car and I just slammed in the brake, before thinking they were policemen. I couldn't accelerate again so I engaged the vehicle in reverse but other vehicles were already at my tail. There was a lady seating at the front with me, out of panic, she couldn't even open the door while the two men at the middle seat are already out of the vehicle. By the time I got out of the vehicle and running to the bush, I was stopped by the guy with the rifle pointing directly at me.
As I was being led into the bush at the other side. I met another guy with cutlass, I launched at him and pushed him to the ground but before I could make a run, I hit my leg on a stump of tree and fell. I have to surrender. I quickly removed my Navy retiree I.D card and hid it on my body just a minute before one of the bandit removed my wallet from my pocket. A quick search was conducted on us but the I.D was not discovered. We were led deeper into the bush (three ladies and two men) and that was the beginning of my 8 agonizing hours with them. When we got to a spot they felt its safe, they started beating the two of us that is male. Words cannot describe the brutality I went through. They suspected I am a Military or police guy and subjected to so much beating more than the other man who I assume is in his mid-fifties.
After they have satisfied themselves they started taking us one after the other to their leader who started questioning us. That is when they started raping the ladies but didn't subject them to physical brutality. When its my turned they started searching me all over again looking for possible identification that will give me out as a military guy. But I have removed my cloth that has naval inscription and hid the I.D card in the sole of my palm sandal so they couldn't find anything on me. When asked who I will contact for payment and I replied that I don't have any money or rich relative, it infuriated them and earned me more planks on the head. I was returned to my position and made to lie facing the ground. One of them now asked why I removed my cloth, I replied that it was due to heat, he told me to put it back on, so I did but turned the clothe inside out. All these while they continued to smoke weeds, cigar and some hard chemical that I don't know why drinking a reddish fluid from bottle. All their aim was to break my joints and all the slaps and blows was aimed directly at my eyes. When they are done eating, I was made to carry their bags and we headed further into the forest.
Whenever we stop for a rest, the resume the beating. Eventually I contacted my brother and they demanded for a sum of #50million. All during the trip, I was observing their formation and how they handle their rifles. It was obvious these guys has military training hence how they figured out I am/was a military chap. I wanted to make a run for the bush but I am convinces that they will gun me down before I will make it to the bush so I continued to follow sheepishly and appealing to them. Attempts were made almost five times to inflict injury on me with cutlass but each time one of them will restrain the other trying to cut me..
When we got far enough they decided to look for a place for us to pass the night and the choose a farmland with dried leaves. My singlet was torn and used to tie me and the other man. He was tied mildy and blindfolded but I was tied to a tree with my hands behind and at the upper arm so tight that it restrict blood flow to my arms. That was when I really suffered undescribable pain. I kept screaming and they were beating me with cutlass but I couldn't withstand the pain in my arms. They were checking my arms and when they were sure that the arm is already filled with blood, they cut my arm loose and I fell to ground and that was the beginning of the plot for my successful escape
When my arms has regained its functions, I slightly raised my very tight blindfold and started taking mental note of their positions, some were already snoring but a particular one was watching videos on his phone so I have to wait. Once I hear the phone keypads beeping I will know that he is still awake. after sometime I raised my head a not and saw that he is also asleep and its only the phone that is awake, so I carefully removed the dry leaves and sink my toes in the sand and with the aid of the tree I pushed against it and I was able to stand without making any sound
With three leaps, I made towards the dark opening in the forest which I know it will hide me and they won't be able to follow. I landed in a swamp and I keep charging through the shrubs roots of big trees and all other obstacles for three hours till I reach the main road again
I have the following advice for us
1. Don't ever drive slowly on a highway
2. Don't stop to pick or help strangers on the high or lonely places.
3. Always pray to God with your heart, He will definitely answer.
4. Women should not be seating in the front of the car especially during journey.
5. In captivity, don't ever sleep because the window for escape might be very short and you have to act fast.
6. Always delete your bank alerts and keep important documents safely hidden in the car if you are travelling.
In all,the grace of God prevailed as all that's just described may look like a fiction but that is exactly what happened. My only regret was not being able to save the others. The lady amongst them kept telling she hates me and will kill me the next day. I have to believe her, so I have to take my chance 50/50 instead of being shot in the head without giving a fight.
I was at the Police station on the 27th and was there today again. They are not interested in saving them. Instead the DPO told us to pay for towing our vehicle away from the scene and also find something for his boys. I told them how it feels being in such situation and knowing that help is not coming except from God.
Nairalanders ,just help me thank God that I'm alive to tell my story.

This actually happened to a friend who is also a Nairalander. I just can't thank God enough that we are not mourning right now as I got the call he was kidnapped from his brother around 9PM on 26th (Monday) while coming from hospital as my wife delivered via CS the previous Tuesday (20th). He was there with me all through on 20th and 21st and left early Thursday morning for a burial in his home town and from there to Warri on Sunday only to get kidnapped on Monday (First day of hustle resumption).
Lots to be said but we just have to thank God as we hope and pray for a better nation. Our dear country is definitely heading towards a failed Nation as nothing seems to be working right now.
I thank God for your life my brother. I pray you'd never suffer again in your life . I pray you get the dream job you craved for as a chartered accountant as that's the reason he left the Nigerian Military in the first place.
Obviously,your kind of hustle isn't meant for you so bro,head home ASAP. We missed you already.

It's so sad that kidnapping has become a lucrative business in Nigeria, everyone should endeavour to stay safe because police and security agencies cannot save you and acquiring a firearm to protect yourself is almost impossible.

So sad, the terrorist at the helm of affiars are still talking about borrowing money and they just hand two military tanks to bokoharam.

Na wa o,sorry,see as dem flog pesin body.the country is no longer safe.

Nigerians protest, stop allowing animals to kidnap you like chickens. DEATH PENALTY must be utilized. We must cleanse the land with the blood of kidnappers and killers.

Under this govt, Fulani criminals
are untouchable & any law enforcement
agent that manhandled a Fulani suspect
can be dismissed & imprisoned.

Righteousness2:
The days are damn so Evil. I begin to imagine what so many Folks we don't even hear about go through in the hands of these evil guys.
Some are Dead and their people do not even know. I remember a brother in Christ who was taken away sometime ago. He said right in his front they were beheading people.

He was a son of a Pastor in the Lords Chosen but he didn't Really Believe in our Covenant with GOD as CHOSEN. In the meantime Brethern were praying and interceding. His Dad had got to meet our G.o and he asked does your son follow and Believe what we do here? My pastor prayed with the Father and assured him that GOD will intervene.

It happened that they were taken into a house in the bush. According to the young man, He slept off and in the dream he saw the G.o come to him. He said the G.o was so angry with him and asked him , so you don't believe our covenant with GOD? Why have you not declared yourself?

To cut the long story, when he taken to be Slaughtered he declared himself a CHOSEN and there was a great Confusion in the camp. He said a strange strong wind blew over the camp , lifted the strong man in charge and slammed him on the ground.

The Strong man told him that he had been in this business for years and that he must be killed. The young declared himself a Chosen again and the whole place began to quake and shake mysteriously. The strong man began to scream that they should take the young man away ! He said give him al his things! He is a bad meat.
This was how they took him brought him out to an express road and left him.
The days are Evil ! We need a Strong Covenant relationship with JESUS in these Evil days..

Una don start again .......

I'm not sure these kidnappers are Fulani herdsmen as they are too refined and polished to be. They speak good English and are on designer clothes not the kind of clothings we know with the Fulanis.

Its only God o. I can't thank God enough

Asquare84:

he said while escaping he saw two herds of does with nobody guiding them but those that kidnapped him do not sound like Fulanis.

Glory to God

nawa oh

Na God hand all of us dey for dis country.. Jus trust God and he'll guide ur instincts
