Three bike riders, known as Okada, kidnapped one Vivian Okojie, a student of Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma, on her way to her village, Idumebo, not far from Idumagbo, where she picked an Okada.
The Okada rider diverted to wrong direction inside Ekpoma bush towards Benin road. Right inside the bush, two other young men appeared with dangerous weapons and with AK 47, pointed at the poor student who was helpless and confused.
The three young men were speaking Hausa language among themselves, that was when Vivian Okojie knew that the kidnapped men were Hausa men.
Fortunately, Vivian Okojie understand Hausa language very well. She appealed to the kidnappers that she was a student going to her village to see her parents. Immediately Vivian spoke Hausa language, the kidnappers became cold and friendly to her. That was how Vivian Okojie was set free while other victims were held captive.
