Kidnapped Edo Musician Narrates His Ordeal In Kidnappers Den

Osayomore Joseph, popular Edo singer who was kidnapped on October 4, and gained his freedom from kidnappers in November, has narrated his experience.

Speaking with NAN in Edo on Friday, Osayomore said;
I paid huge ransom before I was released by my abductors after 30 days in captivity.

The popular musician added that is wife was shot by

the kidnappers before he was whisked away, into a forest, adding that his traumatic experience during his 30-day abduction was not an experience he ever once to remember.

Osayomore also revealed that he has put his experience in his new album titled “30 days and 30 nights in the evil forest” set to be launched today 16 December.

He continued;
I was dragged through the forest close to Gelegele and taken in a boat to a creek.

I have never stepped into a boat before. The speedboat on the high sea is enough to give me high blood pressure.

The kidnappers called themselves forest soldiers. Those who came to kidnap me did not know me.

It was when I got to the creek that some learned ones started singing my old songs. They did not know that I started fighting before they were born.

They may have overestimated me that I am very rich. They collected money from me.

I will not mention the amount, but it is colossal. That will not deter me from doing what I know how to do best.

I did not know I will come back alive. I later know I will not die there when they started asking for money.

The ransom was collected on the high sea. They called the boat that brought the ransom money Freedom Boat. I was on an Evil Boat

After they brought the bags containing huge sums of money, the kidnappers checked them and that was how I came back.
