    Gunmen have reportedly invaded the Gambar Sabon Layi community in the Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of Bauchi State, killing seven persons.
    The invaders who were in black attire also kidnapped newlyweds, leaving the community in disarray

    It was gathered that the gunmen stormed the community in a commando style at the wee hours of Sunday when they started shooting sporadically to instil fear in residents and the local vigilantes.

    It was further gathered that the gunmen killed a traditional title holder, a vigilante guard and five others before kidnapping the newlyweds.

    The Bauchi Police Command is yet to issue any statement on the attack
