“Some of the bandits were in army uniforms. They moved from house to house and woke their victims up before they marched them into the bush at gunpoint.”
“The bandits were in the community for over an hour.
“It was a silent operation. They only started shooting sporadically to scare people from coming after them after leaving the community. One of the kidnapped victims escaped as they were moving inside the bush,” he said.
The police were yet to react on the kidnapping.
