A resident, Lawal Daura, said the gunmen who invaded the area at about 2am, forced the motorcyclists to hand over their keys and mobile phones, before they forced them to lay down and tied them.

Chairman of the commercial motorcyclists in the area, Bala Muhammad, said the gunmen selected six new motorcycles out of about 20 there, and also robbed them of their money before they fled.

He said two people were injured. The community chief’s palace is opposite a police outpost there.
