A shocking incident occurred just hours before a scheduled wedding ceremony as bandits reportedly kidnapped a bride, her bridesmaids, and at least 28 other people. The victims were said to be travelling in a convoy when the attackers ambushed them. The community has been thrown into deep fear and confusion following the sudden abduction.

Witnesses explained that the armed men blocked the road and forced the passengers into the forest. Families of the victims are devastated, especially as the bride was preparing for what was supposed to be one of the happiest days of her life. Local residents described the situation as heartbreaking and deeply disturbing.

Security agencies have been alerted, and a search operation is said to be underway. Authorities promised to work with vigilante groups and community leaders to rescue the victims safely. However, many people are calling for stronger security measures on major roads to prevent similar tragedies.

Community members are now appealing to the government for urgent intervention. They stressed that bandit attacks have become too frequent and are affecting social activities, economic life, and people’s sense of safety. Many hope that the victims will return home soon and that justice will be served.
