A source told Track News that the bandits moved from house to house in Thursday night.
The source added that the community of late has experienced pockets of attacks by the bandits, lamenting that the situation has caused fear in the hearts of the residents.
A notorious bandit leader called Dankarami, according to the source, is alleged to have led the mass abduction of the people in the community.
