He urged the authorities to free the abducted victims before things get worse.

The bride, her bridesmaid, two male relatives, nine other women, according to Chacho, were among the thirteen people who were abducted during a midnight attack that targeted the neighborhood.
Around 12 a.m., the assailants made an invasion of the village and headed straight to the bride’s family home.
According to him, the attackers stormed the house and demanded information about the bride’s room before going straight into the bride’s room.
The family is unsure whether the young bride was targeted in the incident.
One patient, who is thought to be the bride’s brother, was shot and seriously hurt during the procedure. Due to Chacho’s lack of medical facilities, he had to be treated in a far-off place.
This most recent incident marks Chacho Village’s nearly tenth bandit attack. More than 30 people have been killed in repeated assaults over the past five years, leaving the area fearful and deeply traumatized.
