Gunmen suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect have kidnapped two prominent Monarchs in Borno State.
Those abducted include, the Emir of Uba, Ismaila Mamza and the Emir of Gwoza, Idrisa Timta.
Premium Times reports that the two were whisked away by the extremists around 10am Friday, near Shaffa while they were travelling to Gombe to attend the funeral of the Emir of Gombe, Shehu Abubakar, who passed away on Tuesday.
However, the Borno state government is yet to issue an official statement on the abduction at the time of filing this report.
DailyPost earlier reported that there was a gun duel between soldiers and members of Boko Haram sect in bordering town of Garkida under Gombi local government in Adamawa state and Hawul local government area of Borno state.
