A member of the Federal University staff, Kashere, Gombe State and indigene of Damaturu, Muazu Bawa, who was abducted by members of the Islamic State of West African Province, finally regained freedom and reunited with his family members last Monday.
He said,"I left Damaturu for Maiduguri around 7 am on that fateful day to attend the wedding of two close friends. "They interrogated me and took my farmers' association identity card. Then, one of them searched my phone. From there, they took me to an unknown location and informed me that they would take me to their leader for an interview. After that, they said if I were lucky not to be among the people they were targeting, they would set me free and urged me to exercise patience in all the processes.
