Sufyan added that the abductees were being transported to unknown locations.

“There are four Yoruba men and two Fulani men. They divided us, we are seven here. The other vehicle, they said, will reach Ilorin and ours will reach Ibadan or Ikeja,” Sufyan said.

Sufyan’s abductors are currently unaware of her distress call through her phone. Her recent live location update placed her close to Kuru, along the Makurdi-Jos Road.
