“In the early hours of November 3, some yet to be identified gunmen invaded Alhaji Hassan Yunusa’s settlement, at Nuku Village in Kaiama.

“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 had canal knowledge of the innocent girls,” he said.
