She said her ordeal started when she boarded a 14-seater bus on the evening of September 26 at a park in Lugbe not knowing that it was a “one-chance” bus.
The lawyer said she realized that she was in trouble when, six minutes into the trip, the man who sat beside her started attacking her.
She said it was at that point that she realized that out of all the occupants of the bus, only she and two other women were real passengers while others were members of the gang.
She explained, “They started beating me and the other two ladies in the vehicle. When they were done, they asked what I do for a living, I lied that I was a teacher that just resigned. They asked how much I earned, I said it was less than N30,000. Then they asked about my husband, I said he too is a poor trader.
She said as she was making attempts to speak with her family members to raise funds for her release, her abductors kept driving around the city.
According to her, around midnight, her husband and colleagues were able to raise funds that were sent to the robbers before she was released.
Adewale added that the money that was sent for her release was paid into her account while the robbers withdrew the money from a POS operator.
“If we tell you what we are doing now, the goal will be defeated but I can tell you that we are working on it,” she said.
