“Although they were well armed, they did not hurt anybody. They only carted away Chief’s wife mobile telephones and left chief’s mobile telephones behind,” he said.

Agiso said he believed that the abductors left the victim’s mobile telephones behind to use as a medium to demand ransom.

Agiso said the family of the abductee has reported the incident to Girei police station.
