Six farmers have been abducted by suspected bandits in Garbatau, Bali Local Government Area of Taraba State.
The bandits also killed a farmer, Alhaji Mai Wanda Maibultu, on his farmer over the weekend.
He was said to be a large scale farmer in the village located a few kilometers from Garba Chede town.
According to Daily Trust, the six farmers were kidnapped along Garbatau village, a farming community nestled in between two mountains.
A resident of Maihula town, Adamu Dauda, disclosed that the kidnappers had reached out to the families of the abducted farmers and demanded N100 million as ransom.
Adamu further stated that this time last year, hundreds of kidnappers invaded the area and kidnapped dozens of farmers, preventing them from harvesting their crops.
He said the farmers were harvesting their crops but the kidnappers had halted the process as they did last year.
The spokesperson of the Taraba State Police Command, SP Usman Abdullahi, is yet to react to the incident
