“How I Was Able To Disarm The Kidnappers After We Were Kidnapped”-29-yr-old Miss Lucy Tapnang Recounts Ordeals
Insecurity has been one of the major threats Nigerians are facing nowadays. Even though the Buhari-led administration has been putting everything in place to make sure that normalcy returns to every region of the country, some bad people in Nigeria are still causing havocs in some region of the country.
Miss Lucy Tapnang, a 29-year-old kidnapped victim has recounted her ordeal on how she displayed her boldness and confronted one of the kidnappers who abducted them in Barakin Ladi local government area of Plateau State on Tuesday, Nigerian Tribune reports.
The kidnapped victim who spoke to newsmen on Monday disclosed that despite the fact that she sustained some injuries as a result of her bravery, but she was able to disarm one of the kidnappers who was carrying AK-47 and freed other victims.
The victim while speaking said, “The car we were travelling in was ordered to stop precisely at the Government Science School Kuru by kidnappers at gunpoint.
“When we got to the kidnapper’s hideout inside the thick forest, I told others to summon their courage and let’s attack them, but the rest complained that the three kidnappers guarding us are fully armed with dangerous weapons and that doing so could be suicidal.”
She added, “I then vowed that no matter what they were holding, my God would protect me. I told them if I held the one with the gun, they should rush the one holding the knife, and I immediately rushed to grab the man with the AK-47, and he shouted and at that point the one with the knife attacked me, wanting to pierce my stomach, but I dodged it, and the knife entered my leg. But I succeeded in throwing the gun out of the hideout.”
Nevertheless, the spokeswoman for the Plateau State Police Command, DSP Alfred Alabo, who confirmed the incident disclosed that efforts to arrest the perpetrators of this crime is currently ongoing and they would soon be charged to book.
