He said those killed went after the gunmen to rescue those abducted but were ambushed at a village called Tumbau and killed while the third person who took them on his motorcycle, named Mas’ud, was shot in the stomach but didn’t die as at the time of filling the report.

“The gunmen came around 11:15 pm and started shooting sporadically in the community, living two people killed and abducted two others among them the wife of an ex-Lawmaker in the state,” he said.

The operation by the gunmen lasted for almost three hours unchallenged as residents couldn’t sleep due to the sound of gunshots in the community.
