A chief from a village in the chiefdom, who preferred anonymity, confirmed the abduction to Daily Trust.

He said “In fact, four among the women are from one house,”

“I suspect that these gunmen that abducted our women are among those ones that escaped from neighbouring Kabbi village who were roaming inside the bush after Miyetti Allah vigilantes neutralised some of them over the weekend,” he added.
