” That was all I could remember, by the time I regained consciousness, I heard someone telling me to wake up. I heard him talking to someone on the phone that he had been able to pick the ladies.

“He didn’t have enough airtime on his phone, he was asking me if I had on mine, I was scared but I told him I had, then he snatched my phone and called that person back.

“He said we have brought them”, the man he was talking to asked him to hold us very well, saying we must not escape from him.

” The lady that came to make her hair sat at the front and I sat at the back, the man himself was the one who drove the car.

“The back of the gate is bushy, the lady was the first person they pushed inside the bush, she fell down and sat, the guy behind me also pushed me down, when I fell and tried to look at his face, I saw that he was looking elsewhere, that was how I ran away, I didn’t look back.
