The village head of Beni, one of the communities, was reported killed, as was the son of the village head of another community, Kwagana.
The third person was killed in Adunu, another community in Paikoro council.
A source said the terrorists held their community under siege from 8am on Tuesday to about 3pm. An unspecified number of residents were abducted, it was said.

Calls and messages sent to the Commissioner for Internal Security, Emmanuel Umar, and the police spokesman were unanswered.
