They reportedly demanded an unspecified ransom.

Another call came through shortly after, with the speaker on the other end of the line instructing Zawedde to send money to them or else they would kill her husband.

Shaken, Zawedde said she immediately rushed out and reported the matter to Bunagana police, who launched a search for the captive.

But towards 6am the following morning (Saturday), the victim was reportedly found by his relatives in Rwankoni village, Nyakabingo parish in Chai sub-county. He was unable to speak and could only respond through written messages.
