“Some of them entered the house beside me and kidnapped the vice chairman of our community. They now went into the house opposite me and took another people.

“It was at this time that the neighbourhood called the Kuduru police station and the military camp in Bwari for assistance. A few minutes later,the military personnel came with their vehicles and chased the kidnappers into the bush.

” The entire community joined in the chase, which continued for a while, but we couldn’t get any of the kidnappers and their hostages.

“None of the families have also been contacted since last night when the incident happened.”
