A National Youth Service Corps member, Rofiat Lawal, who was abducted along the Benin-Ore Expressway last Tuesday, has disclosed that her abductors threatened to force her into marriage and take her to Sokoto if her family refused to pay a ransom.
This is just as she narrated that one of the abductors, who are Fulani, took her NYSC uniform and wore it.
Rofiat was abducted on her way to her place of primary assignment in Oyo State while coming from Edo State.
The abductors initially demanded a ransom of N20m but after several negotiations, they reduced it to N5m.
A friend of Rofiat, identified as Agbakwara, who raised the alarm about her abduction on his Facebook page, had on Saturday narrated how she was eventually freed after her family paid a ransom of N1.1m to an account purportedly belonging to a family of another kidnapped victim.
Narrating her experience, Rofiat noted that the kidnappers waylaid the vehicle she boarded along the Ore area of the expressway.
She disclosed that out of the 10 passengers in the vehicle, six of them were kidnapped and led into a bush along the expressway.
She added that valuable items such as money and mobile phones were taken from all the victims, including her NYSC uniform, which one of the kidnappers wore.
The corper said they trekked for seven hours on the first day they were abducted before they were allowed to rest.
