The chairman of Birnin Gwari Vanguard for Security and Good Governance, Ibrahim Abubakar Nagwari, in a statement, noted that the bandits, on motorcycles numbering about 50, attacked the communities around 11am and seized them for four hours, thereby preventing the people from holding Juma’at prayers.
It was gathered that an undisclosed number of persons, many of them women, were equally abducted and taken to an unknown destination by the attackers.
A resident of Randagi who craved for anonymity said two of his relatives were among those killed.
