The attackers also killed four members of the chairman’s security detail, comprising two policemen and two local vigilantes, according to an indigene of the town.
The attack occurred after the bandits, said to be in large numbers, invaded the chairman’s residence and engaged his security guards in a gun battle.
An indigene, Abdullahi Na Allah Said, who spoke with one of our correspondents, said the bandits entered Bungudu town and headed straight to the chairman’s residence, where they abducted him and some members of his family.
