Tears, Blood and Survival

My name is Chinedu David Felix, I was born in Nigeria on the 8th of July 1989. I am Igbo and a Christian. I have 3 siblings and my parents are petty traders. After I graduated from Madonna University, Okija, Anambra state, I had to attend the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) which is a mandatory year of service created by the Nigerian government. Few months after my service, I was heading home in Aba, Abia state when I was grabbed. I tried to resist but I realized it was about three men who hit me as they pushed me into a vehicle. I couldn't even ask why because the replies I got was extra beating. I was in their custody for two weeks and I became extra sensitive to light because I was always blindfolded. I had begun to give up on being released because I thought they kidnapped me to steal my organs and sell them ritualist which is a common thing in Nigeria, then one night I got extra beating that I almost passed out I thought I was going to die then they put me in a vehicle
