Rescued Oyo principal recounts how kidnappers forced pupils, teachers through nightly treks to evade troops
The principal of Community High School, Ahoro-Esinele, in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, Rachael Alamu, has recounted how kidnappers forced abducted pupils and teachers to undertake repeated night-time treks through dense forests for nearly two months as they constantly fled security operatives searching for them.
The victims first trekked for about an hour before the kidnappers transferred them onto motorcycles for another journey lasting more than four hours through difficult forest terrain.
Mrs Alamu and more than 40 pupils and teachers regained their freedom after spending 56 days in captivity following their abduction from schools in Oriire Local Government Area in May.
