“Eight people, who are mostly women were abducted and carried away on motorcycle by the bandits,” a local hunter informed our correspondent.
Some community members who spoke about the incident informed The PUNCH that some vigilante groups who carried out a reprisal attack on a Fulani community led to a situation that forced the police commissioner, Ali Kaigama, to intervene and initiate a dialogue among the residents of the affected areas.All rights reserved.
