On Sunday, January 21, a Nigerian man named Daniel Yunusa claimed to have escaped from the hideout of kidnappers.
In a viral video, Daniel said that he was driving to Kogi state with five of his siblings and friends when they were kidnapped and taken into the forest.
Daniel stated that he fled and rushed into the bush, where he was able to film. In one of the videos uploaded, Daniel begged Nigerians to assist him since he had no idea where he was or how he might return to safety.
He later posted a video of himself with his vehicle, which had been shot at by the kidnappers.
He could be seen sharing his story with some military officers as well as passersby. He implored Nigerians not to go by road again and pleaded for assistance in rescuing his brothers, who he claims are still with the kidnappers.
