One person has been killed and 10 abducted by gunmen in Kana community, Udege Development Area of Nasarawa State.

This was disclosed on Tuesday by the Chairman of Nasarawa Local Government Area, Muhammad Sani Otto.

According to him, the gunmen in their numbers invaded the community, shooting sporadically in the air which resulted in the death of one person, injuring many, after which they seized 10 persons.
