“The abductors shot me on my legs and requested for ransom. But before the ransom, one of the abductors spoke to me on Igbo and showed me a way out from a thick forest.
“An unknown person from the forest helped me out and paid my transport fare to the east but on my way going police stopped the car and spotted my wounds and asked me to follow them to a police station in Kogi state.
” The police allegedly detained me as a criminal which i told them i was not. They requested for fifty thousand Naira which my relatives transferred to a roadside POS and the officers withdrew it and said I should follow them to a police station in Kogi.
