The Special Assistant to Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia
on Media Mobilization, Atu Terver, has expressed gratitude to family, friends
and well-wishers following his abduction in Abuja and safe return.
Recall that Terver was kidnapped on Wednesday,
17 September 2025, and was found alive on Friday, 19 September 2025, after two
days in captivity.
In a message posted on Saturday morning, Terver recounted
the trauma he faced during the ordeal and thanked everyone who prayed and
advocated for his release.
“It wasn’t a funny experience,” he wrote, describing the
“traumatizing thoughts of what will happen to me and what becomes of my family
if the worst happens.”
After regaining freedom, Terver said he was taken to St.
Christine’s Hospital, Abuja, where doctors carried out a thorough examination.
“There was no serious injury after the doctor’s
examination,” he noted, adding that he took prescribed medication, followed
medical advice to rest, and now feels “much better.”
He acknowledged the flood of messages and calls of concern
from “well-meaning brothers and sisters,” and said he would give a full account
of the incident during a live session hosted by activist Ukan Kurugh at 9 a.m.
Saturday.
“God is really wonderful and this has convinced me more that
He still comes through for His children,” Terver stated.
Authorities have not yet released further details about the
circumstances of his abduction or those responsible.
