Insects bit us, they tortured us, left us under the rain and sun, and forced us to trek — Man recounts ordeal in kidnappers den after he, his mother, and sister were abducted and a ₦50 million ransom was demanded

Edo-based pastor Caleb Adavize Phili has recounted his traumatic experience after regaining freedom from kidnappers who allegedly demanded N50 million for the release of him and his family members.

The pastor took to social media to share photos of himself, his mother, and his sister receiving medical attention following their release.

According to him, the kidnappers held them for several days and subjected them to harsh conditions while negotiations for their freedom were ongoing.

Phili said they endured physical and emotional suffering, including long treks through difficult terrain, insect bites, exposure to harsh weather conditions, and constant threats to their lives.

Reflecting on the ordeal, he described kidnapping as one of the worst experiences anyone could face.

He wrote:

“I can’t forget this in a hurry, how we were kidnapped, myself, wife and sis for days and they were demanding for 50 million naira.

“The worst prayer you could pray for your enemies is for them to be kidnapped, yes, that’s the highest.

“The psychological trauma, the fear, the torture, rain, sun, insect bites, the trekking, the threat to life with ammunition, the huge amount being paid and many more. Lord save our nation. Thank you Jesus for our life.”
