A kidnap victim, Nneka Leonard, who was fortunate to be released alive while others were killed, has shared her ordeal in the kidnapper’s den.
Nneka revealed she was kidnapped on Saturday, May 15th on her way to the memorial of a late friend.
According to her, she boarded a bus from Maza Maza in Lagos to Onitsha. On getting to Onitsha, she took a bus to Owerri and in Owerri, she boarded a bus going to Port Harcourt, not knowing that the male passengers were kidnappers.
In the course of the journey, one of the guys brought out a handkerchief, she felt a hand on her nose and dozed off. On waking up, she saw her hands and legs were tied in a strange location and she started shouting.
At this point, she said she was beaten up by 6 hefty men for refusing to stop screaming. She was stripped naked by their boss and he searched her bag and took everything.
The kidnappers told her the only thing that can save her is if she calls her people. She said a naked photo of her was taken and she was told to put in her fingerprint to unlock her phone.
She was out of data so they recharged and subscribed with her phone, then sent her photos to her relatives, before calling them to demand ransom.
She explained that the kidnappers told her one day after her kidnap, on Sunday, that her relatives were making efforts to pay the ransom.
They then informed another kidnap victim that her family members were not making any move, and there and then, they made a call to an “Alhaji”, to know if he’s interested in buying the woman’s body parts.
Narrating the call, Nneka said,
“They said, ‘Ah, Alhaji, fresh meat dey oh. How we go take do am? Which part you need?’ The Alhaji say ‘breast, I need her second to the last finger, I need her eye, I need her ear’.
“So he said, ‘OK, how much are you looking at?’ and he said, ‘Ah, Alhaji, if you can give us 4 million, we’ll kill it now now now and send it to you’.
“The Alhaji started pricing. He said ‘let me give you people 3 million, it’s OK’. They said ‘done’ then cut the phone. They carried the girl immediately.
“They had a very, large, big table, but it’s an iron table. So, they took the girl. the girl started begging, telling them that she has no one and is an orphan and an only child.
“They said ‘who only child help?’ Immediately, they cut her head, started piecesing her, in my presence. So, after some hours, they came back again, they took the other girl, they cut her, they called and found out the part they needed gain. That one said ‘her private part, breast and eye’, that is the only thing he needed that night.
“They had to carry the second girl again to kill in my presence.”
On Monday morning, at about past 11, Nneka explained that the kidnappers arrived and told her she’s lucky because her people have paid and they will be releasing her.
They also told the other woman that she will be released too as her people have paid and the kidnappers told both of them to go for thanksgiving when they regain their freedom because they are fortunate to have people willing to pay for them.
Nneka said that if she had stayed a day earlier, she would have died because they weren’t given food and she was left naked for the period she was in captivity.
She was put on a bike later that day, late at night, and was dumped in the middle of a dangerous road. Because of how she looked, those who saw her on the road ran away from her. Only one man approached her and offered to help.

British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing, has noted that her country would have been struggling if they had only one of Nigeria’s problems.
Laing who said this in Port Harcourt on her maiden visit to Rivers State, advised that the ideal candidates for the 2023 Nigerian presidential elections should be youths with females as the Vice Presidential candidates.
Speaking further she revealed that the UK government would deny visas to Nigerians who incite violence and want to disrupt 2023 elections.
In her words,
“I do have some sympathy for Nigeria because if we as UK have one of these problems your country is having today, we will be struggling. Here, you deal with everything, from insurgency to kidnapping, to piracy off the Gulf of Guinea and you don’t have such a large army and police force for a country of this size.
“The only way you turn this thing around is that government has to build the trust of its people, to have the people working with the government to deal with criminality. That’s how successful anti-criminal operations work.
“People willingly report those committing crime, working with police to identify criminals, same with the military on the insurgency situation. It’s only when the community is on the side of the police and security services that they can turn around the situation.
“2023 is not alright. What happens in the elections is very crucial, not just for Nigeria, but Africa to the world. You (Nigeria) are a large democracy.
“It doesn’t have to be a perfect election. There would be problems, but we want it to be better than the last one. We want it to be secure, peaceful, the process should be run well, and you need to get people to register.
“My ideal candidates would be two younger presidential candidates, both with female vice presidential candidates.
“It is essential that there’s a peaceful election in Rivers State. It’s going to be a crucial part of his (Wike) legacy, how the election goes in this state. We’ve been saying the same thing to Amaechi.
“Another thing we will be doing is to remind people that if people do incite violence or act violently, we will be prepared to deny them visas to the UK. We will make that statement clear and say it over again.”
