Three years ago, the night of July 4, 2021, turned into a nightmare for 121 students of Baptist High School, Damishi. Armed men stormed their school, abducting them into the darkness, leaving their families in anguish and their futures uncertain.
For weeks, the students endured hunger, fear, and brutality in captivity. Some were released in batches, while others spent months in the hands of their captors. But today, their story is one of survival, faith, and gratitude.
