He indicated that the man took them to the northeast of Adré, then crossed into Sudanese territory before asking them to get out of the vehicle, claiming he would return to them later.
He explained that several people emerged from the same direction the driver had taken, riding motorcycles, and assaulted them. They were released only after the intervention of an elderly relative of the assailants.
