The family of one of the pupils recently rescued after spending nearly two months in captivity following the abduction in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State has narrated the child’s traumatic experience, alleging that the terrorists beat him whenever he asked about his family and fed the captives garri without sugar.The revelation was made by one of the pupil’s relatives in an interview shared by TVC News on Wednesday.According to the relative, the child, identified as Taiwo, has continued to recount the ordeal since returning home, revealing that the abductors subjected the victims to physical abuse and deprived them of proper food.“When he saw you people (journalists), he started clinging to us. They really stressed them in the forest. He has been narrating it to us. He said they beat him when he remembers us,” the relative said.The family member added that the child told them the captives survived largely on garri without sugar throughout their stay in the forest.“When we asked him what they gave them to eat, he said that they usually gave them garri without sugar,” she said.Another relative also described the child’s fearful reaction upon seeing unfamiliar faces after the rescue.“As soon as she saw you from afar, she clung to us,” one relative said, while another voice off camera added, “She wanted to start running into the bush. She was shaking.”Related NewsFULL LIST: Oyo honours teachers, civilians, soldiers killed during school kidnap, rescueAbducted NECO candidates wrote exams at ‘miracle centre’ – KogiPolice rescue five-year-old kidnap victim, arrest two suspects in OyoSpeaking further, another family member said the child had continued to recount how the abductors punished the victims whenever they requested to see their loved ones.“They put them through a lot of suffering.

She said that whenever she asked for her relatives, they would beat her,” the relative said.PUNCH Online had earlier reported that all the pupils and teachers abducted during the May 15 attack on schools in Oriire Local Government Area regained their freedom after a coordinated rescue operation by security agencies.The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced the rescue on Friday via his verified X handle.The latest account from Taiwo’s family comes a day after the principal of Community High School, Mrs Rachael Alamu, who was also among those rescued, recounted the victims’ 56-day ordeal in captivity.Alamu disclosed that the abductors repeatedly beat younger children whenever they cried, tied pieces of cloth over their mouths to keep them silent and forced both pupils and teachers to undertake dangerous night-time treks through forests to evade security operatives.She also revealed that while female victims were spared physical assault, the male teachers were blindfolded, handcuffed and chained throughout the period of captivity.
