In her gripping and inspiring memoir, Six Years Hostage, Okigbo tells the harrowing story of her ordeal. She describes the physical and psychological torture she endured, the constant fear of death, and the despair that threatened to consume her.

But even in the darkest of times, Okigbo never gave up hope. She clung to her faith, her family, and her belief in the power of the human spirit. She also found solace in writing, which became a way for her to process her experiences and to stay connected to the outside world.

In 2015, Okigbo was finally rescued by Nigerian forces. She returned home a changed woman, but she was also a survivor. She had endured six years of hell, but she had emerged from the experience with her spirit unbroken.
