The persons kidnapped were identified as Abdullahi Umar, Abdulkarim Yusuf, Abubakar Umar and 13-year -old Abdulrahman Isah.


“They started shooting sporadically into the air to scare residents after they kidnapped four people,” he said.


The chairman of the council, Alhaji Abdulrahman Ajiya, confirmed the abduction of the residents and killing of two kidnappers.


Journalists who visited the police station, saw the corpses of the kidnappers lying on the floor.


Some residents rushed to the scene to take photographs and videos of the corpses.
