Niger State Commissioner for Information, Sani Idris, says his abductors regarded his kidnap as a high-profile job, and that they stated that it was well planned.
Idris, who was abducted on August 9 by gunmen that invaded his home in Tafa Local Government Area of the state, was released four days later on Thursday.He spoke on a Television Continental programme on Friday, stating that he experienced “dehumanising and humiliating” treatment from his kidnappers. He said that his hands and legs were tied the first two days of his abduction, and that his resolve to not yield to the terror made his abductors to soften up.
Speaking on Friday, Idris said, “We thank God for everything, but it is not an experience that I will pray for even my worst enemy. It was dehumanising; it was humiliating; it was degrading — just name it. But we thank God for scaling through. “They took me to a no man’s land, in the middle of nowhere and I was there exposed to the rains for 48 hours, with neither food nor water given to me, with my hands and legs tied just to break me. But in the long run, God was there for me and I was able to remain focused and I was able to remain sane. We thank God for that favour.
