‘I’m Still Alive’ — Abducted UniJos Graduate Speaks in Fresh Video
A graduate of the University of Jos (UniJos), who was abducted by suspected terrorists, has appeared in a newly released video, confirming that he is still alive.
Disturbing Proof-of-Life Video
In the footage circulated online, the victim is seen speaking directly to the camera, appealing for help and urging authorities and the public to secure his release.
The video is believed to have been released by his captors as part of ongoing efforts to pressure for demands, although details of such demands remain unclear.
Family, Public React
The development has reignited concern among family members, friends, and the wider public, many of whom have expressed relief that the victim is alive but remain deeply worried about his safety.
Calls have intensified for urgent intervention by security agencies to secure his release.
Security Concerns Persist
The incident highlights the ongoing challenge of kidnapping and terrorism in parts of Nigeria, where abductions for ransom and leverage have become increasingly common.
Experts say such videos are often used by kidnappers to:
- Prove that victims are alive
- Increase pressure on authorities and families
- Accelerate negotiations
Efforts to Secure Release
Security agencies are reportedly working to track down the perpetrators and rescue the victim, although officials have not publicly disclosed operational details.
Authorities have urged the public to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified information that could complicate rescue efforts.
The Bigger Picture
Analysts warn that the continued use of such tactics underscores the need for stronger security measures and intelligence-driven operations to combat kidnapping networks.
Hope Amid Uncertainty
While the video offers some reassurance that the victim is alive, the situation remains tense, with stakeholders calling for swift and decisive action to ensure his safe return.
