Three other residents were shot by the assailants.
A resident of T/Wada Garmadi, Rumaya Kwassam Ward, Mr. Joel Ahada, confirmed the attack and strongly condemned the violence, describing it as a gross violation of human rights and a threat to rural dwellers.
“Has our government turned a deaf ear to our plight? We demand urgent action and protection for our communities!” Ahada lamented.
He identified the deceased as Shehu Umaru and Philip Barde, while those injured were Vincent Danjuma, Francis Habila, and Amu Bawa. The kidnapped victims were named as Shekarau Umaru, Nathan Danjuma, Augustine Samuel, Dawo Bawa, and Hon. Christopher Sayi.
Ahada called for prayers for the peaceful repose of the deceased, the safe return of those abducted, and the swift recovery of the injured.
