An activist, Harrison Gwanishu, shared details about the lady's release from captivity on his Instagram page.
He said in the post:
"Two weeks ago, Aisha was kidnapped at Igbira Camp, Auchi, Edo State.Thankfully, she regained her freedom last night. Sadly, we couldn’t move in to capture her abductors because the State Security Agencies and the Edo State Government have repeatedly failed to respond to our calls for collaboration.
"It should be on record that Aisha was kidnapped at Igbira Camp, Auchi, and released last night in Okpella, Edo State. Those familiar with the area can attest to the long distance between Auchi and Okpella — a journey the victim was forced to trek alongside her abductors.
"Certain technical equipment required for our rescue operations can only be deployed with official authorization. Unfortunately, despite repeated efforts to reach the Edo State Government and the Commissioner of Police, we have been unable to get their response.
"We’ve now had to withdraw and return to our own base — a State where we have full support from the Police, Military, and Government to operate effectively. To everyone who stood by Aisha’s family during this difficult time, thank you sincerely.
"This is another reminder that security requires partnership — between citizens, Government, and volunteers like us. We remain ready to assist, but we cannot do it alone. We need Government backing and public support to continue saving lives.
"ENOUGH TALK — TAKE ACTION NOW. There are several proven avenues to capture these kidnappers. We demand immediate Government intervention, coordinated field operations, and full support for law enforcement. Lives are at stake."
