The victims were employed at the BUA Group’s road development site along the Bode Saadu/Kaiama/Kosubosu corridor.
According to local sources, the abduction took place in the early hours of December 1, 2025.
A security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, provided details of the incident to Sahara Reporters. “Between 11 pm and 4 am, heavily armed individuals stormed the construction site, located less than two kilometers from the villages of Bielesin/Fallah and near Olokiti.
