"At about 10 o'clock, four hefty men came into the yard cos the yard was built with four flats inside. They came in, they were wearing army uniforms.

"So, one now woke up my mum and said we are looking for so so man that owns this jeep. My mum now said it is the next flat - she thought maybe it is army people that came to arrest.

"One now said oh, you are going to this church (makes to touch her wristband) where the man is always praying against us - you will go with us. She never knew it was kidnappers.
