I heard students shouting ‘bandits, bandits’: Oriire survivor narrates dramatic capture

So, I took the students in Junior Secondary School, JSS, one to three to the school hall to conduct tests for them without waiting for my other colleagues to arrive because I know the difficulties we do encounter when coming to school.

When the others started arriving, including a junior colleague and another on my level, I told them to invigilate the Senior Secondary School, SSS one and two classes.

We walked for about an hour and 30 minutes, including the principal, other staff and the pupils, before we got to where those people who government sent to rescue us were.
