Kidnapped Teens Recount How They Escaped From Bandits Den

Two female teenagers, Mubaraka Naziru and Amina Rabiu, on Saturday, said they disappeared from the forest when the bandits guarding them drank to stupor and fell deeply asleep.

They were abducted when bandits invaded Batsari in Katsina State on Wednesday around 12 am.

They said the bandits promised them that they would be married off as soon as they were taken to their kingpin. They were served with bottled juice and loaves of bread while the bandits consumed alcohol.

Naziru, told Journalists in Katsina, that as soon as the bandits fell into a deep sleep and were snoring, they quietly moved from the scene and gradually walked through the bush and even though they didn’t know where they were headed, they walked throughout the night in a bush.

“Upon realizing that they were unconscious, we decided to run away. We walked kilometres to a hill and we were lost in the bush,” .

They said they met some herders at the foot of a hill and they were directed to the nearby village, Muniya, in Safana Local Government Area, Katsina State.

It was at Muniya that they were offered help and taken back home.
