According to the woman, she travelled from Sokoto State to Katsina State while her family believed she was heading to Kogi State.

‘Nobody would even know where to start looking’

Reflecting on the experience, the woman expressed concern about what could have happened to her during the journey, noting that her family might not have known where to begin searching if she had encountered trouble.

She wrote:> "From Sokoto State to Katsina State, while my family thought I was on my way to Kogi State. ‎Till today, I still dey wonder, what if something had happened to me on that road? > ‎ > ‎Nobody would even know where to start looking.
