“We were seriously beaten as seen in the video and it is as a result of failure to rescue us by the government. Because of the government’s attitude, they were angered and they thoroughly beat us. We were severely flogged and that was just the beginning. This makes me to pity those that are still with them in the forest.”
While speaking on their feeding routines in captivity, Uthman revealed that they were being fed according to capacity.
He stated that they were being properly fed and that they were days were the bandits will slaughter cattle and cows for them to eat.
Uthman however disclosed that his release and others were facilitated by their families and not the government as many will think.
He revealed that their families have made attempts through the government but all to no avail.
