According to some residents who barely escaped death and capture, the gunmen arrived the communities in about 30 motorcycles. They said majority of those abducted were women and children while two were killed as they tried to escape the onslaught.

A residents, who identified himself as Umar, said the communities are currently empty as those who managed to escape are fearful of returning to their homes and farms.

One of the residents confirmed that the bandits got in touch and demanded N70 million. “They have called us that we should bring N70 million as ransom before the people can be released. That is all I can say for now.”
