A resident of Ogu, Kamal Mamman Wayam, said the gunmen stormed the community on Sunday morning and shot sporadically into the air.
Wayam said: “The gunmen in their large numbers arrived Ogu on motorcycles. Before we knew what was happening, they started shooting into the air. They ransacked people’s houses and carted away whatever valuable they could lay their hands on. They also abducted six persons from Ogu, including two visitors.”
The attack on Tegina was said to have happened at about 12:30 am on Monday.
A resident of the community, Sani Gamachindo, said thirteen persons were abducted.
“The gunmen entered the room of my daughter that night. But she hid under the bed, while her husband went up the ceiling. When the gunmen entered their room, they spent 30 minutes and ate almost all the food in the kitchen. Thank God, they were not abducted. But thirteen persons were kidnapped,” Gamachindo explained.
