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.

DAILY POST recalls 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.
