A former Vice Chairman of the council, Mohammed Baba and some council members were among those abducted, it was gathered.
The gunmen hijacked a bus the victims were in and got away with all its occupants through the bushes in the area.
About three weeks ago gunmen in similar fashion invaded the Tunga Maje Community in Abuja and abducted five persons.
They were eventually released but it could not be ascertained if they were rescued by security agents or paid ransome.
