The car, he said, was taken to Ayamelum Divisional Police Headquarters in the Anaku community.
According to him: “It was not me. I am no longer the PG. It’s the present PG but his car was recovered by the police.
“It is at the Divisional Police Headquarters in Anaku. This happened about four nights ago, Friday precisely.
“Apart from the PG, we heard that four other persons were also kidnapped by the herdsmen.”

He said many people had been killed even as scores of women had been raped in the past by the herdsmen.
