A former senior official at Nigeria's intelligence agency, the State Security Service (SSS), has been recalling his ordeal after being abducted in central Kogi state by those whom he identified as Fulani people.

According to Ceoafrica, Mike  Ejiofor, now the chairman of private security firm Apex Safety and Security Consultants, said that he survived on cashew nuts during his four days in captivity as his captors initially demanded a ransom of N30m for his release.

According to him, “I was kidnapped alongside my driver; we walked all day, and slept wherever darkness met us”.
