In other news, suspected gunmen have allegedly killed 10 persons in Wayam community of Sabon-Gari District in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State.
The Eastern Updates learnt that the incident occurred on Tuesday in the early hours of the morning.
The bandits reportedly stormed the community on motorcycles in their numbers shooting sporadically which created panic and pandemonium.
They were said to have killed three persons and slaughtered two women who refused their sexual advances, while five others died of bullet wounds hours later.
The gunmen set houses and food stuff of the villagers on fire before departing.
A source from the community who did not want to be mentioned by name when contacted, said the community is currently deserted as residents had fled following the attack.
