He explained that it was the harvesting period, so they went to the farm from their home to harvest, only for the bandits to come to the farm and ask if they knew where the vigilantes who had operated in the area were staying, but they told the gunmen that they did not see anyone.

“We did not know their exact mission because when they asked us where the vigilantes that operated in the area stayed, we answered them honestly.”

“If we knew what the bandits were on the farm for, we would have taken to our heels when they arrived.” He said.
