360 Freed From Kidnappers At Borno

Hundreds of residents of Ngoshe community in Borno State who recently regained their freedom after months in captivity have shared painful accounts of life inside a terrorist camp.

The victims, mostly women and children, said they endured severe hunger, poor shelter and limited access to clean water during their detention.

Several of the survivors revealed that they survived on a single daily meal made from guinea corn and slept on bare ground in a remote mountainous area.

They also disclosed that a number of children fell ill and died while in captivity, leaving families devastated by the loss.

Some of the freed residents alleged that teenage boys were separated from the group before their release and taken to another location.

Others claimed they saw several bags delivered to the camp shortly before they regained freedom, although they could not confirm what the bags contained.

The Borno State Government dismissed claims that any ransom was paid for the release of the captives, insisting that the operation was carried out through military action backed by intelligence gathering.

Governor Babagana Zulum later visited the victims, praised security agencies for their efforts and assured the community of continued support and rehabilitation.
