An 86-year-old ex-staff of the Nigeria Railway Corporation, who is a resident of the community, Daniel Yatai, was also killed by the bandits during the attack which occurred on Tuesday night.
Though police authorities are yet to confirm the incident, reports say the bandits in their large numbers invaded the community at about 11 pm on Tuesday and started shooting sporadically to scare the residents before attacking some houses.
The daughter of the victim, Christiana Yatai, told newsmen that the bandits gained access to their house through the fence.
A family member, Joseph Yatai said the bandits have contacted them and are demanding 15 million naira as ransom to release the girl.
