An abducted farmer has given birth while in captivity, in a case that has renewed concerns over the plight of victims held by armed groups.
The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, was reportedly taken into captivity by her abductors while carrying out farming activities. She later went into labour while being held captive and delivered her baby during the ordeal.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the birth, including the location where she was being held and the identity of her abductors, remain unclear.
The incident highlights the growing vulnerability of farmers and rural communities facing attacks and abductions, particularly during farming activities.
Efforts to establish the woman’s current whereabouts, the condition of the mother and child, and whether other captives remain in the hands of the abductors are ongoing.
Authorities have yet to provide further details on the case.
