A young boy has bravely shared the heart-wrenching story of how his parents were abducted by Fulani herdsmen while working on their farmland, shedding light on the traumatic experience.
The boy’s emotional account, posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), has since gained widespread attention. In a video that has gone viral, the boy, surrounded by some concerned villagers, recounts the horrifying events that unfolded shortly after the kidnapping.
As the video begins, the boy is seen answering questions from a man who is seeking to understand what happened. He starts by explaining how the attack began while they were working on the farm.
“I was singing as I worked on the farm when they heard my voice. They came up behind my father. My mother screamed ‘Jesus!’” the boy recalled. “The kidnappers ordered us to stay quiet. We complied, and my mother started pleading with them. My father also begged, but they told us to remain silent.”
In the emotional video, the boy continues to detail how the kidnappers ruthlessly shot his father, leaving further distressing images of the brutal event. His testimony highlights not only the violent nature of the kidnapping but also the deep fear and helplessness his family faced during the attack.
The chilling narrative underscores the ongoing insecurity many rural families in Nigeria face, as such incidents of abductions by armed groups have become a recurring nightmare for countless communities.
