Conflict

Sometimes, even if I am sleeping, I remember the situation; it’s become like a nightmare to me.

We found someone who paid one million naira, but the major challenge was where to get the remaining 500,000.

I’m forced to work as a labourer both during the rainy and dry seasons, even though I am too old.

If you want to get a story from us, we ourselves are the story.

Death is easier for me than the current situation. I would say Alhamdulillah if I died now.

We are left with the pain and grief of losing them and we will not see them again till in the hereafter.

My colleagues and I ran to escape, about thirteen of us, but only six survived.

But they didn’t touch me. Maybe I’m too old for them.

A week before they kidnapped us, they came and burned our houses to ashes, leaving us hopeless.

We suffered a lot. They even said they would kill us if our relatives didn’t bring money.
