The Eagle Online recalls that the six sisters and their father were taken by their abductors in Bwari area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on January 2, 2024.
Narrating what they went through, Najeebah tweeted: “On Friday, we walked from 10am till the next 4am or even later.
“They wouldn’t let us rest, they wouldn’t let us drink water.
“We only got to drink water around 10am yesterday (Saturday) morning.
“At a point, I almost gave up; I almost asked them to just kill me.
“But then I was like I can’t leave my sisters here.
“I kept thinking: we’ve paid the ransom, why won’t they let us go?
“Then yesterday (Saturday), I was like my Rabb (Allah), if we actually leave this place today, I will never doubt how great and amazing you are.
“I don’t think anyone understands how I feel right now.
“Allah really said: ‘I’m always listening, my answers might not be the way you like it, but I’m always listening so be patient.’
“I’m soooo in awe, I’m still in awe wallah.
“Subhannallah, Allah truly is the greatest. Allah’s blessings were there in every way.
“I’m soo happy there wasn’t any molestation cos that was everyone’s greatest fear during the ordeal.
“Like, they were so against it.
“I don’t understand why but I counted it as a blessing from my Lord.
“Ya Dhul Jalal Wal Ikram, Shukran. Your blessings were immense.
“Alhamdulilah.
“I’m immensely grateful for your prayers and support throughout this ordeal.
“This was the greatest test of my life but wallah Allah’s mercy was bountiful as well as it was endless.
“Thank you all so much.
“I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that my uncle actually died that night.
“I just found out last night.
“I called and they said he was fine.
“Inalilahi waina ilaehi raji’un.
“Ya Allah grant him jannah and forgive his shortcomings.
“Inalilahi waina ilaehi raji’un.”
Another of the sisters, Nadheerah, in a post on her X page, simply said: “Alhamdulillah.”
