A woman rescued after being abducted by gunmen in Ogun State has recounted how she was shot during an attack on travellers before police rescued her and other victims.
According to a video shared by News Central TV, the victim was among passengers travelling from Anambra State on Wednesday when three vehicles were intercepted by armed men. The attackers kidnapped the occupants and held them for about 24 hours before a police rescue operation secured their release.
The woman said she was returning from a wedding in Anambra in a Sienna bus when the attackers struck.
“We just heard a gunshot from the center of the road, the man now faced me and fired at me,” she said, adding that she sustained a gunshot wound to her hand.
She also disclosed that her daughter was injured during the attack and later underwent treatment at a general hospital, where bullets were removed from her body.
Despite the ordeal, the victim praised the police for their rescue efforts, expressing gratitude to the officers and commending them for safely securing the victims’ release.
