He didn’t know who we were and we saw he was afraid because he was lost and didn’t want to say it. We took him with us and in the boat we questioned him. When we were far from the village he finally opened up a little. When we got to Kpando, he tried to escape from us, so he started panicking and wouldn’t talk.
