In brief
In October 2024, Alice Loksha Ngaddah, a nurse kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2018, successfully made her escape with her young son and another abductee. After over six years of captivity, the trio spent days evading capture before reaching safety at a military outpost. Initially abducted from a military base in Rann, the nurse had taken her job supporting families in crisis while caring for her mother's health needs. During the desperate ordeal, both faith and resourcefulness guided her escape, showcasing resilience in the face of terror.
In her recent interview, Loksha recounted her feelings of joy and relief upon reaching safety, vividly remembering the moment her group erupted in praise as they neared the military base. Her story speaks to the broader crisis of abductions in Nigeria, where countless individuals have suffered at the hands of militant groups.
