A rescued NYSC prospective corps member in Nigeria’s Imo State recounts a week-long kidnapping ordeal in which abductors beat them and provided food and water that they described as dirty. According to the account, the victim woke up to find herself in the kidnappers’ custody and could not clearly explain how she had been taken to the forest.
During the seven-day ordeal, the abducted person says the kidnappers forced them to eat garri while drinking or being given muddy water. Both reports describe physical abuse during the captivity and emphasize the victim’s testimony about the conditions they experienced while being held.
The outlets present the story through the abductee’s perspective, focusing on daily experiences in captivity—food, water, and treatment—rather than offering new information on the abductors’ motives or any subsequent investigation. The reports also do not provide identifying details beyond the victim’s NYSC involvement and the location in Imo State.
