Adarju Juliet is a 28-year-old trader who was abducted by suspected Boko Haram members on her way to Maiduguri, Borno State. Were your abductors Boko Haram members? Some of them were Boko Haram members while some were a group of kidnappers operating from the bush and working with Boko Haram. When they saw that I was crying because I was worried about my mother’s whereabouts, they decided not to give me away to the Boko Haram insurgents. They told him to bring the N1.5m because they were under pressure from Boko Haram to either release me or kill me.
