“They gunned down an old man who they interrogated first and asked him questions relating to the (IPOB) struggle.

“They stopped a Lexus 330 jeep and kidnapped the driver. A Toyota Camry (spider) was bashed. These young boys successfully carried out their operation for about 26 mins without been repelled by security agencies.

“They drove away with two persons, leaving one dead at the scene. To God be the glory as I ran today and visibly observed. I also lost my screen device.”
