Narrating his ordeal, Gwaram said he was scared when he saw his daughter among abducted children brought to the camp where he was being held.
The man, who disclosed he had been with the kidnappers for three months, said he wept bitterly the day the schoolgirls were taken away from their camp.
Gwaram said is determined to allow his daughter to continue with her education. He explained that if was not educated, she would have exposed him when she saw him at the camp and that would have put the both of them in grave danger.
