The victims, predominantly women, were taken last Thursday and were being moved to the nearby forest of the Allawa area when the bandits carried out the vicious killings.
The district head of Madaka, Isah Bawale Madaka, disclosed that seven people were killed in Kukoki village while being transported to the forest, with an additional two individuals losing their lives along the way.
Madaka further mentioned that over 30 bodies have already been laid to rest, prompting concerns about the bandits’ intentions as they have not made any ransom demands for the abducted victims.
He also shared that he has been monitoring the bandits’ movements over the past few days in an attempt to ensure the safety of the abducted individuals.
