Among the dead is the village head, Bademi Papka, a cousin of Adamawa State governor, Ahmadu Fintiri. An eyewitness said the attackers arrived on motorcycles, firing sporadically, and fled after several hours.
In a separate incident, gunmen abducted six worshippers from a Celestial Church in Uso, Ondo State, during an early morning service. One victim has been rescued, and a suspected informant arrested.
In Ilu Abo, Akure North Local Government Area, a couple abducted four days ago was released after a N5 million ransom was paid.
The police have launched investigations and security operations to rescue the remaining victims and apprehend the perpetrators.
