Mrs Nkechi Ofashi who was tragically abducted by herdsmen in the farm in Umutu in Delta has lamented her ordeal in the kidnappers den.
Ofashi who was abducted on June 1 in her farm, said she endured unimaginable hardships, including physical abuse and torture, during her five-day ordeal.
According to her, the kidnappers demanded a hefty ransom of N1.5 million for her safe release.
As a farmer, her husband, Mr. Raymond Ofashi did not have this substantial amount of money at his disposal.
In a desperate bid to secure his wife’s freedom, he reached out to the compassionate and supportive members of their community in Umutu for assistance through MC Bobito.
Chief Solomon Igwulu, a revered figure in the community, stepped forward and generously contributed 1.1 million nairas towards the ransom.
This act of kindness was further complemented by the contributions of other benevolent individuals within the community.
Through the collective efforts and solidarity of the community, the required ransom was raised, leading to the safe release of Mrs. Ofashi.
In this emotional video, the resilient couple recounted their harrowing ordeal and graciously advice fellow farmers on the importance of vigilance and community support in the face of adversity.
