Sofia was a 200 level student at University of Legon medical school.

One weekend she told her roommate she was traveling to her mother's village to see her grandparents.

So her friend wishes her a safe journey and will see her Monday morning.

So Sofia packed a small traveling bag and headed to the taxi station to catch a cab.

When the cab finally arrived she sat at the backseat and when she saw two passengers next to her,who gave her a sad look and turned their heads toward the windows in distress.

When the cab left the station one other guy who was next to the driver a few minutes towards my dention took out a gun to my head and said “ keep your mouth shut! If you want to live” he growled.

When she realized she was being kidnapped she started to cry like a river it was too late to realize what was going on.

She kept crying because she never saw her parents or grandparents ever again.

Sofia prayed for a miracle to be free and rescued by her captives since she is a Muslim.

The kidnappers without her knowledge were going to  the shire to use her and the other victims as sacrifices to become rich through blood rituals. Sofia was so scared she wanted to scream but couldn't. If she did she would have been killed by the kidnappers who wanted to become rich through rituals or ransom. They didn't care if I didn't exist or worse.

While they were still driving through town,the car broke down at a dead end.

“What has happened ?" the gunman asked.

“ It looks like the damn car broke down again “ the driver responded in anger.

So he stepped out of the car to take a look at the engine to see if he could fix the car.

The other kidnapper waited for a few minutes and also stepped out of the car with the gun still pointing at us.

So he told us to walk out of the car with our hands in the air.

So he took the rope and tied our hands together behind our backs so we wouldn't escape from his clutches.

I keep praying to God to  help me escape from our captives so we can go home to our families. They must be so worried about us right now.

While the kidnappers still have us as their human shields to protect themselves from the police.

It's getting late. I hope it's  not too late for us to escape from these criminals as soon as possible, they are so dangerous and crazy.
While the kidnappers were checking the car one of the victims had a plan for us to escape, so one guy told us to put our hands together to tie the ropes on our hands.

He took his pocket knife he had in his back pocket and loosened the ropes one by one in slow motion. After we were finally released from our ropes he took a big rock and slammed both kidnappers on the head and told us “ to run as fast as we can without turning back.

I kept running as fast as I could without being caught through the bushes and the trees without turning back because I was afraid the kidnappers were on my trail.

I ran and ran until I arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the road.

I saw a police station and ran right inside until I was out of breath.

“ Madame what has happened “ why are you running as a mad woman “ he sat me down on the couch and I told him how I was kidnapped and the police conducted a search party for the suspects.

I was giving a statement to the officer in charge on how it all started.

After I gave my statement the officer called my parents to pick me up from the station.

My parents arrived with tears in their eyes. They thought I was never coming back.

My father gave me a bear hug and told me how much he loved me. I finally broke into tears while my head was on his chest.

A week later the kidnappers were arrested and were brought to the station to await their trial in police custody.

The kidnappers were in court and charged for three attempts of kidnapping and abuse. Both were sentenced to 49 years in prison without parole. I was so grateful to God for bringing them to justice plus the other two were back to their families as well, safe and sound.
