“When they finished collecting all the monies from our people, they wanted to run away. My villagers held them that they should bring their monies and started beating them. After beating them, they took them inside one house and told them they should refund all the monies they collected before releasing them.
“When police stormed the forest we kept the three persons and started shooting, we started running and some of our colleagues fled with the girl to another forest. Those who fled with the girl are Kelechi Igwe, Tochukwu Otiokpo and Nnaemeka. I will help the police to trace them and rescue the girl, I promise to do this so that police can help me to come out of this problem. I have two daughters and my wife is heavily pregnant. I am on okada rider,” he said.
