Female returnee: I would have done more than carrying guns if I was not empowered
“We were kidnapping Nigerians because we were instructed to do so. If you failed to do it, they would shoot you dead. We were kidnapping them from their houses, hideouts and everywhere we could find them, and at the same time fighting the Arabs. We kidnapped Nigerians but killed Arabs. “As ISIS members, we were fighting inside Tripoli. I was getting money but they were still the ones collecting the money from me. Every day, death came my way. But instead of me to die like a rat, I would rather die like a hero.”
“We have an ambassador in Libya and have soldiers here. Did they do anything to save the lives of the citizens over there? If I were a Togolese, Ghanaian, or Senegalese, I would have been a hero because of what I did in Libya for Nigerians. I would have been better empowered and not just in this manner they empowered me.” `
Despite this, the ex-ISIS soldier still nurses a grudge against some of the state’s government officials who he accused of failing to fulfil the promise they made to him. She said: “When I came back from Libya, I said I wanted to take up arms if I was not empowered. It was frustration that led to that. Do you know how much I spent on the Libya journey?
