He said as the bandits were leaving the community with the five abducted persons, residents rushed out in an attempt to rescue them, however, the bandits started shooting sporadically at them and in the process, six people were killed while two others were injured.
He said: “The village came under attack by fulani men a few minutes after 10pm on Friday. When they came, they picked two people, who at gun point, led them to the residences of Mr. Zakariya Markus, a prominent man in the community, who happened to be a retired director of the CBN and kidnapped him.
“After picking him, they moved to their family house and picked his younger brother, Mr. Monday Markus and the wife.
“So five people were kidnapped, but as the kidnappers were leaving the community with them, residents rushed out to pursue the criminals in an attempt to rescue the victims.
“But the bandits were shooting sporadically at them and in the process, six people were killed while two others were injured”.
