 “We were about to sleep when my husband asked me to look through the window and then I saw the abductors. “When they got closer, they flashed torchlight at us and asked my husband to come out and follow them or else they will shoot him.

“He succumeed and opened the door. Then, they started beating every member of the family. They later contacted my son, instructing him to start making some savings for his father’s release.
