According to an online video by On-Air-Personality, Oriyomi Hamzat, someone was abducted in the community and immediately hunters responded by pursuing the suspects into the forest. When they caught up with the criminals there was exchange of gunfire, but in the process, the hunters exhausted their bullets and so made a call home requesting some of their members to purchase bullets for them and bring to the frontline. However, the police arrested those people and took them to the station despite their frantic explanation that they were duly sent by their superiors to buy the item.
