him to the old man.
“When the abductor came out of
the house alongside the old man, two other men from the car dragged
baba into their car and drove away before people could suspect their
mission.“We raised the alarm to prevent the abduction of baba but they
had left
and we were unable to trace the vehicle,” she narrated.
