“I went inside the house with my mom, some minutes later, a strange number called my mom on phone that she should rush outside to look for my sister, that he was speaking with my sister on the phone when she started shouting and her phone went off.
“The guy said my sister used to call him with the same number and when he asked her, she told her that the number belongs to our mother so he saved it.
“We rushed outside immediately and started calling her line but it was switched off.
“Around 10:47pm I called a man from Ebubegu security but he told me that he can never come out because he is not on duty.
“So we saw a force man, named FearGod, and told him everything that happened, he called that same man from Ebubegu that I called previously, this time he told him that he is coming but never showed up.
“The same FearGod went to our neighboring village and mobilized for a search party.
