Former Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Tsiga, has told of how he suffered in the hands of terrorists who, he said, always used him and other kidnapped victims as shields whenever they came under military attack.
Gen. Tsiga, who was rescued on Tuesday, by soldiers after spending over fifty days in captivity, also told of how they were fed once daily with millet and salt, which has deteriorated his health as a hypertensive patient.
He also said the terrorists who treated them like animals, especially those of them who are retired military personnel, said they don’t fear God, they only fear military aircraft.
Gen. Tsiga made this known shortly after he, along other kidnapped victims, were handed over on Thursday – yesterday, March 3 – to their families by the National Security Adiviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu and the Chief of Defence Staff(CDS), General Christopher Musa, in Abuja, the FCT.
The former NYSC boss, who said he has been in hospital since after his rescue as a result of what he went through, thanked president Bola Tinubu, the NSA, CDS and the entire personnel of the armed forces and security agencies for their tireless efforts at curbing the insecurity bedeviling the nation.
