The gunmen, who stormed the factory in a silver coloured Honda Accord car, were said to have escaped security check by driving closely behind the car of a female member of staff as she drove into the compound.

Sakalawi, it was learnt, was also accidentally driving behind the abductors.

As the three cars entered the compound, the female staff was said to have started shouting at the security men for allowing the gunmen into the compound without insisting on knowing their identity and mission.

As soon as they sighted Sakalawi alighting from his car, the sources said that the gunmen pounced on him and bundled him into their car and drove off.
