Seeing this, she found a nearby bush and hid in it while the other woman continued walking.
She said:
"We were at the front, they were far away… those people at the back. Me and that woman, we were in the middle. Then I just looked back and saw that those people coming from the back were far. There’s a little bit of bush between us, so I just decided to step aside into the bush."
The bandits didn’t realize she had hidden in a strategic spot. She could hear them speak and walk very close to where she was hiding, unaware she was just a few steps away.
Woman shares how she escaped
"That woman going in front of me, she looked back like this, she saw that I had branched. The woman continued going, she didn’t say anything. I just stayed in that bush."
"All of them passed by. They were talking but they did not know because it was already dark. They did not know that one woman had escaped, so I slept in that bush throughout the midnight."
The 49-year-old woman explained that she remained in the bush all night and found her way back to the village in the morning.
"When it was morning the next day, I started looking for a way out because I didn’t know the road again. I suffered a lot before I could return to the village."
