One of the freed schoolboys of Government Science Secondary
School, Kankara, Katsina State, has narrated his six-day ordeal in the hands of
his abductors.
The student, who claimed he featured in a video released by
Boko Haram on Thursday, said he was “convinced” by the kidnappers to speak in
the video.
“I don’t know who they are but they said I should say they
are Boko Haram —gang of Abu Shekau,” the student said at the Katsina State
Government House on Friday shortly after Governor Aminu Masari received the 344
abducted schoolboys.
Gunmen had invaded the school premises last Friday and abducted over 300 students after a gun duel with the police.
The abduction took place some hours after the President, Muhammadu Buhari, arrived in Daura, Katsina for a
week-long private visit.
Leader of terror group Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, later
released two video footage claiming responsibility for the dastardly act.
But speaking with newsmen on Friday, the student, who
claimed he was the teenager who featured in viral video released by Boko Haram
on Thursday, said from “what I experienced, they (his captors), are not Boko
Haram”.
He further said, “Sincerely speaking, the gang of armed
robbers was very scared of what was happening from the jets. They assigned me
to speak directly from the video to tell the government to stop sending the
army and jets, if not they were going to kill us.
“We suffered a lot physically, they beat us morning and
night. They only gave us food once in a day and water twice in a day.
“Some of those who beat us are just tiny boys with big
guns.”
Meanwhile, the Katsina State governor said the schoolboys
would receive proper medical attention before they are reunited with their
families.
