Alhaji Maibultu, a large-scale farmer, was attacked on his farm, a few kilometres from Garba Chede town.
Residents described him as a significant figure in the farming community, known for his contributions to local agriculture.
The six abducted farmers were taken near Garbatau, a farming village located between two mountains.
According to locals, the incident has affected farming operations as the victims were in the process of harvesting their crops.
“The kidnappers have already contacted the families, demanding N100 million as ransom,” said Adamu Dauda, a resident of Maihula town.
Adamu lamented the recurring attacks in the area, stating,
“This time last year, hundreds of kidnappers invaded our community, abducting dozens of farmers.
“They stopped us from harvesting our crops then, and now they’re doing it again.”
Efforts to reach the Taraba State Police Command for comments were unsuccessful. Calls and messages sent to the spokesperson, SP Usman Abdullahi, remained unanswered at the time of filing this report.
