Brigadier General Maharazu Tsiga (rtd), a former Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has described his terrifying experience being held captive by terrorists and kidnappers for more than two months.
On Thursdays, April 3, the former NYSC DG told reporters that he and the other kidnappers were being held in a thick forest with hills all around, full of dangerous animals.
The ex-NYSC DG revealed that his survival as nothing short of divine intervention adding that his abductors believed that military officials have free access to government funds.
The former NYSC DG said “We were kept with dangerous animals—hyenas, snakes, and scorpions. A day before I was released, just the day before yesterday, while on the mountain where I was staying, we suddenly noticed a hyena circling us, looking for food. And what kind of food? Us, human beings.”
“Throughout our time there, we constantly lived with snakes and scorpions. But the most terrifying experience was how they treated those of us whose ranks they knew. Whenever troops attacked them, they would bring us out and use us as human shields, hoping to get us killed by the military strikes. They wanted us to be hit by the aircraft. But God is merciful.”
“They believe that those of us in uniform are given money by the government. That’s why they tried to break into my house. They couldn’t, so they went to my home in Kaduna and used explosives to destroy it, including the gates” he added.
