The assailants, armed with sophisticated weapons, invaded the mosque, shooting sporadically before abducting the victims into the forest.
This tragic incident adds to the series of attacks by terrorists in the region.
Efforts to reach the state police command for comments were unsuccessful at the time of making this report.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Yazid Abubakar, did not respond to calls.
