No. These ones have rustled cows and are afraid of any kind of encounter with the herdsmen. These kidnappers did not even have cows. They were simply mercenaries.
The one that had begun to befriend me informed me that they had been operating in different places. From the discussion we had with them, most of them had been involved in many atrocities and had on numerous occasions, been hired to fight in many states. I suspected they were apparently trying to induce fear in us. They claimed they had fought in Benue, Nasarawa and Taraba states.
The interesting discovery was that these criminals were in the employ of somebody. They were in constant touch with whoever their paymaster was. At a point, they even asked if I should be killed but the person on the other end of the line replied in the negative.There was no humanity left in our kidnappers. They seemed to have left the realm of humans. I can tell you that. One of them on sighting the Fulani herdsmen went and invoked his charm, apparently to prepare for a battle.
We were fed with gari . It was served dry and scooped unto our palms. We were given water from a pond or stream nearby to wash it down. Once, they cooked rice. It was also served plain. We ate it like that.We paid the demanded ransom. I paid N1.8 million Naira and the rest of the victims paid N1 million each. In all we paid N3.8 million. I was made to pay more because I work for a company which the kidnappers recognised as familiar, having once kidnapped and killed one of its foreign workers.
They released us on Monday evening after they had collected the ransom. They asked me where my people were based and I told them my people were in Lokoja. The other two said their relatives were in Okene. The kidnappers then asked our people to bring the money, told them where to bring it but went ahead of time to wait for them. Later, I learnt that they played a fast one on our people.
