company. The driver was as fast as a lazy pregnant snail. 
We
were ambushed at Elele in Rivers state. About 10-15 young men, with
auto rifles, shotguns, matchets, etc. They let the driver go, took the
rest of us into the bush blindfolded. Every night they move us to a
different "barrack". We're always been moved; blindfolded, hands tied,
legs tied too.The first night wasn't really a hassle for me as they
shared my properties; wears, phones, cash, collected our ATM pins for
the money in the accounts.We were always blindfolded except at
nights.The next day, they advised us to quickly raise money and pay them
if not, they were going to sell off our private parts and skulls to
ritualists. They contacted this Alhaji (I don't know if it was to scare
us, but I heard the man, he had the Fulani accent) but he said he can't
come there on a Sunday.We were made to contact our families on Monday so
they can pay our ransoms; N1million. According to them, the Alhaji will
come that Monday night, so they gave us till 4pm that Monday to pay, or
be sold off in pieces to Alhaji. I contactes my younger brother, asked
him to call Dickson and sha give him the update, he laughed on hearing
the amount, his hysterical laugh irked them so deeply they took off the
steam by landing more blows on me. Where man pikin keep 2milly?I
percieved the smell of dope, I begged to take a hit, whoever it was
obliged, from there we started talking, we'd gist briefly, hit blunt
together, he'll even give me water. At other times, I dey collect
beating.That Monday night, they were already having issues among
themselves. They complained that their Oga didn't bring the Alhaji,
neither is he in the bush with them, that they left them in the bush
while the rest have gone to town to flex. I silently prayed. Tuesday
morning, 18th December 2018, the band on my wrist was loose, I called on
one of them to come tighten it because if they notice by themselves, na
beating go follow as they assume that you trying to escape, but he said
he'll be back. That meant he's going somewhere. After a while, we
couldn't hear their chatter, it happened that the ones manning us took a
stroll.How three people watching us decided to leave us without anyone
watching was something only God could do. At first, I thought it was a
trap.It wasn't difficult untying myself as mine was loose already. I
untied the rest of us, Na so we cut out oo. We spent about 25-30mins in
the bush trying to find our way out, following the direction from where
the sound of speeding vehicles came, till we got to the express road.
