When asked about the fate of innocent citizens living in the Shawu, he said, “It’s unfortunate that it has happened, but the truth is that there’s just no alternative to this. After all, majority of good people have left Shawu because of the heavy presence of bandits.”
“Let me tell you, all around, when kidnapping for ransom is carried out, you’ll always get to hear that the plan was hatched in Shawu,” Ado said.
Regarding fatalities, the local council chairman said, “Four deaths were recorded.”
“As of the wounded, we’re still sorting things out to determine their numbers,” he added.
