house. I then saw 3 people checking Alhaji’s room, but I don’t
know those three {3} people. When I went out to the veranda,
one of those 3 people who come to our house, got hold of my
hand and he asked me whether I am Hajiya Maryam, and I said
yes. He then said let us go. He then forced me to follow him
while the other ones were assisting him until we reach our
farmland. I them asked them to allow me carry my wrapper.
One of them went back and collected a wrapper and shoes for
me from Hauwa’u. One of them left a phone number and
informed the girl if that paper loss, Hajiya too is loss, and
that they should call them. We then continued going and when
we reach main road one of them asked me where is my phone,
and I told them that I don’t have. We then continued moving
until we reach Kebbe town outskirt. We continued going inside
bush where we got a place and sat down. They subsequently
lied down and slept, but one of them woke up and asked me
how many children I have and I told him I have 5 children. I
told them they are farmers and rearers of live stocks. He also
asked me whether I can tell him the reach men in our area,
but I told him I don’t know them. The following morning our
children arrived in persons of Rabiu Muhammadu, Usmanu
Muhammadu and other boys whose names I cant remember. I
remember there is also Nabarga Umaru and Sani Musa. These
are the ones I can remember. The first 2 that is Rabiu
Muhammadu and Usmanu Muhammadu are my children. Then
Usmanu Muhammadu said “look at Hajiya” and then the
kidnappers ran away and left me there. They took me back
home. That is all.
