Dorcas Musa, in this interview with DOGARA BITRUS, recounts her experience in the insurgents’ camp and how she managed to escape from his captors
How
were you abducted?
Five of us were abducted on the onion farm in Tulhun Maya village near Baga, where we were weeding, when the insurgents came. When they got to us, they asked us if we were from Baga town and we answered in the affirmative, and they said that our parents and brothers had mobilised against them and as such, they would take us away in retaliation for what our parents had done to them. They took us on motorcycles and rode into the bush; we rode for a long distance in the bush until we got to the river; then, they parked the bikes and used a canoe to paddle through the river to the other side. After crossing over, we trekked for some distance before arriving at a village.
