More than 360 residents of Borno State who recently regained their freedom from terrorist captivity have shared chilling accounts of life inside the insurgents’ camps.
According to The PUNCH, the victims, mostly women and children abducted from Ngoshe community in March, survived on a single daily meal of guinea corn, slept on bare rocks and endured severe shortages of water.
Several captives said six children died from illness during the three-month ordeal, while others alleged that 13 teenage boys were separated and retained by the terrorists as fighters before the group’s release.
Some victims also claimed they saw several Ghana-Must-Go bags delivered to the camp shortly before their freedom. However, the Borno State Government dismissed suggestions that ransom was paid, insisting the captives were rescued through a military operation backed by intelligence support.
