How I escaped after gunmen abducted 16 victims – Hairstylist

Elizabeth Arowojolu, a hairstylist from Ondo State, found herself abducted along the Benin-Ore Expressway on September 13. She was traveling to Lagos to visit a friend when the incident took place around 5 pm. Elizabeth and 16 others were kidnapped and forced to hide their phones from the kidnappers, who appeared to be armed robbers.

After about two hours of running through the bush, Elizabeth managed to escape with three men as one of the kidnappers stood up and began running. The group avoided running in a straight line to prevent the kidnappers from shooting at them. Elizabeth managed to escape the abductors, leaving behind 15 others who were not as fortunate.
