The two victims were identified as Wada and Idi, both married with children.
One of the village leaders, who simply gave his name as Mr Barde, said the bandits called to inform them that the two farmers were in their custody.
“We are very worried because the two adult men went to the farm to clean it in preparation for farming season when the bandits came and picked them up.”
“Most of us here are poor people, which is why we avoided going deep into the bush to farm but they still hunt our people,” he said.
According to him, the whole villagers are confused and terrified even though the bandits are yet to make ransom demand.
Contacted, the State Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige, asked for the exact location where the abduction took place and promised to get back but had not done so as at the time of filing this report.
