A source close to the community disclosed that the gunmen gained access to the residence without being noticed by other family members residing in the house and those in the neighborhood.

The entire Mangu local government has been under the siege of these elements for some time as there is no week without reported cases of kidnapping and other social vices.

Recall that a similar incident occurred in the same Gindiri community of Mangu Local Government Area where an elderly woman with her daughter were abducted along with two pastors. (Tribune)
