How abductors held me for 1 year -Holland based Nigerian alleges


A Holland based Nigerian who identified herself as Linda Akintunde says she was abducted in July 2016 at Oghara, Delta State on her way from Abuja  and held hostage for about a year at a bush before she was abandoned by the abductors after fruitless efforts to get ransom.

Linda Akintunde who narrated her ordeal to Our Senior Correspondent Tuesday May 1, after an unnamed hunter who saw her in the bush and took care of her for nine months before her release, stated that she came to Nigeria from Holland in July 2016 and stayed in Abuja for two weeks, before embarking on a journey to Warri to see her grandmother when the abductors struck at Oghara.      

According to her, the kidnappers abandoned her in the bush after a year when no reasonable cash was found on her and no contact was established to get ransom.                

Akintunde told Our Senior Correspondent that she underwent traumatic experience as a result of the inhuman treatment she suffered in the hands of her abductors who hardly gave her sufficient food and water.                

While thanking God for her eventual re-union with her family in Delta State on May 1, 2018, Akintunde appealed to the federal and state governments to promulgate and implement laws that will stop the increasing spate of kidnappings in the country.
