“There was an elderly woman who could not walk and a man who had sustained a bullet wound among us. The man’s clothes were soaked in blood, while the elderly woman was with her daughter”.

“The bandits instructed the elderly woman to stay behind, but her daughter tried to protest. The bandits threatened to kill the lady if she refused to follow them. They left the elderly woman behind, and we followed the bandits blindly until we found a cattle route.

“I managed to escape after one of the bandits guarding us left to inquire about other members. They chased me, and I fell inside a ditch while fleeing. Fortunately, they did not find me in the ditch”. He said.
