According to the source “The officer they came for, was not at home, so the kidnappers broke into the house and picked his wife.

“They also kidnapped another man, who is the immediate neighbour of the military officer. In fact, the neighbour was picked up alongside his eight-year-old daughter. They eventually dropped the daughter when her mother shouted at top of her voice.”
