Ojajuni stated that when they checked his bank account and saw that he had only ₦12,000 they gave him a choice to continue the journey deeper into the bush or be killed. He said from there, they began a long trek that lasted for hours. He said there was no food or water, and the journey was exhausting. He said, “They asked me if I wanted to continue the journey into the inner part of the bush or be killed. I told them I was ready to continue the journey”
