“We don’t have an actual number yet. They have only rescued six of them,” said the state police command spokesman when contacted to confirm the incident.

He further stated, “We can’t say how many remain because we don’t know the number that was abducted. All hands are on deck to ensure that the others are rescued, Insha Allah.”

“We don’t know the actual number, but our personnel have been there since yesterday (Saturday), working on the rescue operation. Insha Allah, we will rescue all of them,” the police spokesperson added.
