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

Faith Mobadi, a farmer from Kaure in Niger state, was ‘raped five times’ by her abductors

“I was pregnant with my second child when they attacked us. When they invaded, they killed five of my family members. At the time, we fled to the bush and spent about three months there. My husband and some men discreetly travelled back into our village to bring food. On days when we couldn’t get food, we would sleep hungry. We returned to the village when we thought the coast was clear, but they attacked again and kidnapped me. My husband’s younger brother and his wife were kidnapped the same day as me. They raped her in his presence, he could not do anything.”
