After spending 35 days in captivity, Inengite Nitabai, foster father of Goodluck Jonathan, former president, has revealed that his abductors took very good care of him.
On February 17, the 72-year-old was abducted for the second time in two years, and he did not regain freedom until March 23.
Speaking with NAN in Bayelsa on Friday, he said his abductors gave him a preferential treatment before setting him free, as he was allowed to open his face while others were blindfolded.
“I was properly taken care of by the kidnappers,” he said.

“I ate three square meals daily, my drugs were administered to me appropriately by the boys.”
He said they even asked other kidnapped victims to pay obeisance to him as the only person who was untouchable in the camp.
“Before they agreed to treat me well, they argued among themselves from my house till we got to their hideout, but on getting to the camp they resolved the issue.”

It is unclear if a ransom was paid for his release, as Asinim Butswat, public relations officer of the Bayelsa state police command refrained from discussing details of Inengite’s freedom.
