After waiting for several hours without the girls returning, the source narrated that their parents and other relatives organised a search party to look for them. Their lifeless bodies were later found by the road side.
The source added that there were machetes cuts all over their bodies and their blood had been drained away, heightening fears that the girls might have been murdered by ritual killers.
