“In the early hours of November 3, some yet to be identified gunmen invaded Alhaji Hassan Yunusa’s settlement at Nuku village in Kaiama.
“Investigations revealed that the assailants were actually looking for money, as they ransacked the whole place and could not find anything.
“They attacked Alhaji Yunusa and Woru Yunusa with multiple machete wounds and went away with two girls, but later released them a few hours later.
“It was discovered that the abductors raped the innocent girls,” he said.
The spokesman said that the two victims are currently receiving medical treatment at a medical facility and a series of medical tests were carried out on them.
