What happened is that we were asleep
0:11
around 3:30 a.m. when I heard movement
0:14
behind our window. So, I tried to wake
0:17
my husband up to tell him that the
0:19
animals are destroying our things
0:21
outside. Before I knew it, there was a
0:24
on our door and it was forcefully open.
0:27
So I tapped my husband to tell him that
0:30
the animals have gotten into the house
0:31
and they are really destroying our
0:33
things. As soon as he got up, we
0:35
realized they were not animals but
0:38
robbers armed with guns. We started
0:40
struggling.
0:40
Family members and community leaders in
0:43
the area have expressed relief and
0:45
gratitude, but concern remains high for
0:48
other students still in captivity.

Security forces continue to comb the
0:53
forest and surrounding areas in search
0:55
of the remaining victims as pressure
0:57
mounts on the government to ensure their
0:59
rescue. Stay with Tele Media Africa for
