A bride ran into the bush on her wedding day to escape abduction by bandits who attacked them while she was being taken to her matrimonial home.
City & Crime gathered that the bride was being taken from a village in Paikoro LGA to Kuta, headquarters of Shiroro LGA when bandits attacked their convoy around Kaffin-Koro in Paikoro LGA.
A sister of the bride, who didnāt want her name mentioned, told City & Crime: āWe were taking the bride to Kuta from my village. When we were approaching Kaffin-Koro, we were attacked by bandits.
āMy sister was wearing her wedding gown in one of the cars behind. She quickly removed it. The bandits started chasing us in the bush. Two of the brideās friends were kidnapped, but they later escaped. The wedding couldnāt be held again. The wedding was postponed.ā
Both the bride and the groom refused to speak about the incident, but sources close to them said they were terrified.
