The bandits who launched a deadly attack on the chairman’s residence in Zango area of Bungudu town on Thursday night allegedly overpowered security personnel before killing two police officers and two vigilantes.
They later abducted the chairman and members of his family.
According to Daily Trust, the chairman’s security team attempted to repel the attackers but was overwhelmed by the superior firepower of the assailants.
According to the source, the bandits initially abducted the chairman, his wife and their children.
However, security operatives who pursued the attackers reportedly rescued four or five of the children, while the chairman remained in captivity.
