From that point, the captives were forced to continue on foot for roughly one hour before the bandits produced bicycles to cover the remaining distance, she said to TVC News.

Alamu said approximately ten bicycles were brought out, and the group was packed onto them for what turned out to be an exhausting journey.

"We had to walk for about one hour, they brought bicycle machine and about ten of them so we were packed there and we rode for more than four hours on charred parts but they knew their way," she said.
