Africa Here & now’s panellist, Donu Kogbara, tells us of the time she was kidnapped from her home in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. For almost 2 weeks she was kept captive in a tiny hut in a mangrove swamp. She was beaten but developed an empathetic relationship with her captors. She grew to understand the reasons why the young men had taken her by force and were demanding $2 millions for her release. Donu reveals the impact the kidnapping has had on her life, and on that of her family.
