I was sold to Fulani kidnappers – NIS PRO

THE Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Immigration Service, Edo State Command, Bridget Esene, has said her abductors sold her to suspected Fulani herdsmen.

Esene, who was released on Tuesday, said on Wednesday through the telephone, “The armed men numbering five trailed me to my church at Ikhueniro near Benin City where I was kidnapped.

“I was forced into their car and driven out of the church premises by my abductors who later sold me to another set of kidnappers, who are suspected herdsmen. I saw hell and l don’t wish my enemy such.”

She said that she had attempted to escape but was intercepted at gunpoint by the hoodlums.

Esene stated that the armed men later took her into the forest and some other hardened kidnappers were on the ground to receive her.

She added, “I was later sold to another set of gunmen who then took me deep into the forest.”

Esene said she was later rescued by the police and the vigilante.
