A tree trunk, some quick thinking and crawling several miles through the forest helped a Nigerian schoolboy escape from kidnappers.
The 17-year-old student (whose name we can t reveal) was abducted alongside more than 500 others from Government Science Secondary School in the north-western Katsina state on Friday night. We were being pushed and beaten, we spent the night marching, sometimes walking on thorns. Thirty minutes before dawn we were told to sleep, he told BBC Hausa.
He said that while the group was resting, he found a tree under which he sat down.
