Solomon Yusuf, one of the lecturers of the
University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) kidnapped by the Boko Haram sect, has
expressed appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking when he and two of his
colleagues who were abducted on the same day visited Buhari at the presidential
villa in Abuja on Monday, Yusuf said the effort of the federal government has
rekindled his hope in the country.
He said just when the captives
lost hope, government decided to surprise them.
“While we were in captivity and
we said with 180 million or more Nigerians, will Nigeria ever come to rescue
us! We lost hope. Sir, you surprised us,” he said.
“After seven months for us in the
university and eight months for the 10 ladies from, Nigeria rescued us. This
shows that the life of every Nigerian is important and is worth rescuing.
“Sir, we are grateful. You gave
us hope when there was no hope. And we are excited, we thank you, sir.
“We also want to appreciate the
DSS, the Nigerian armed forces, and the entire team that worked together to
make sure we regained our freedom. We appreciate of the labour of love shown to
us.”
Yusuf pleaded with the president
to relocate them from Borno. He appealed that they should be given new jobs.
