She said, “Monday was our Bible study day. Immediately after the Bible study, we were rounding off when one of our brothers collected the car key to park it properly. He met some boys outside.

“They saw my husband and said he was the person. When we got outside, they started shooting and they pushed my husband into their car. We drove after them towards Irese road but they were shooting at us. It was dark; so, we stopped. Since then we have not heard anything from them (kidnappers).
