Two persons suspected to be among the killers of the chairman of Ardo-Kola Local Government Area in Taraba state, Salihu Dovo, were reportedly killed by Nahuta and Ardo-Kola communities on Sunday.
An eyewitness told The Nation the two persons were trying to escape from Ardo-Kola village with two AK.47 rifles a few hours after the council boss was killed by gunmen.
It was further gathered that some youths of the village quickly raised alarm to prevent the two persons from escaping.
It was learnt residents of the communities trooped out armed with assorted weapons and hacked the two fleeing suspects to death.
