INSIDE STORY: Raped, shot, tortured — the scarred survivors of banditry in northern Nigeria

Ferguson Tobins, senior lecturer at the University of Abuja, was kidnapped by bandits in November 2021.

“We walked for many hours with very high speed in difficult terrain. I remember we crossed a river, walked through farmlands; those with crops and those without crops, some with very dry yams that cut our feet, injured our toes and bruised our legs. What really affected us seriously was the exhaustion, we were seriously exhausted, dehydrated and some of us started becoming dizzy.”
