Three men sentenced to life in jail over Nigeria school kidnappings
Rachael Folawe Alamu, headteacher at Oriire's Community Grammar School, spoke about the ordeal she and other teachers and students had faced during their 56 days in captivity deep in the bush, being frequently moved by the kidnappers at night often walking for several hours.
