“They went house-to-house picking their victims.
“My relation, a nursing mother, Rebecca that just gave birth four days ago was among the people abducted.
“Most of our people started running when they heard the gunshots.
“These bandits have been terrorising our community for a very long time,” he said.
He said the bandits have not contacted the family 48 hours after the abduction.
The police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige didn’t answer his calls and didn’t also acknowledge a text message sent to him at the time of filing this report.
