Speaking on the attack, one of the eyewitnesses said:

“By the time the youths started to chase the kidnappers, they had already abducted the party chief into the nearby bush and shot him severally while some members of the gang who were waiting in a standby black Jeep abandoned it, ran out of the car and escaped through the bush.“The community people came out and rolled the Jeep away from that place. I don’t know where they took it but I am sure they ran away leaving the car behind.
