A teacher from Oriire recounted the traumatic experience of being abducted along with students during a May 15 incident.The captives, including staff and pupils, were held by ISWAP militants for 56 days in a remote bush.The survivor described how they were blindfolded, handcuffed, and chained before being released after a tense negotiation.During captivity, the group faced threats of violence if the government refused to dialogue with the militants.The rescue operation involved crossing dangerous terrain, including two rivers, where the teacher helped carry injured children to safety.The incident highlights ongoing security challenges in the region and the vulnerability of educational institutions to such attacks.

Authorities later confirmed the captives were freed after a coordinated effort involving DSS agents, marking a significant event in local current affairs.
